The market inverse demand curve for thrust bearings is P = 15 - 1.5Q, where Q is measured in hundreds of bearings per day and P is the price per bearing. The marginal cost is $3. Suppose two firms, which are Bertrand competitors, produce identical thrust bearings for this market. If this market were monopolized, the market quantity would be 600 200 400 800

Assume a single-price monopolist has an inverse market demand curve given by P(Q)=300-0.5Q, and has a cost curve: C(Q)=125+20Q+0.5Q2. We already know that Monopolist will provide 140 units, Economic profit is 19475, and Economic Rent is 190. If the impact of a 35% ad valorem tax imposed on the consumers in the market. Then: Q1: What is the equilibrium quantity will be sold in the after-tax equilibrium? Q2: What are the economic rents of the monopolist?

Problem 19 A publishing company has a monopoly in the sales of football cards. According to its estimates, the company's inverse demand function is p = 0.4-0.01q. The company's marginal cost is constant at £0.08. Suppose that the company wants to sell football cards in albums only. Using such a block pricing approach, what will be optimal price that the firm needs to set to maximize its profits? a) £5.12 b) £7.68 c) £2.56 d) £15.36 e) £3.84
A monopolist book publisher with a constant marginal cost of 2 and no fixed costs sells novels in only two countries. Assume the inverse demand curve in country 1 is given by P1=10-2/3q and the inverse demand curve in country 2 is given by P2=18-qIf book imports are permitted in both countries so that price discrimination is impossible, what is the equilibrium price and quantity sold in the two countries combined? (Incomplete)
Assume a monopoly firm is considering the production of two brands, 1 and 2. Marginal cost is constant at 20 for both products -- assume no fixed costs. The inverse demand for brand i is pi=140−qi−dqj , where i≠j and d is a constant. Part A) Find the firm's QUANTITIES
3. Suppose a software monopolist faces two markets for its software, students and professionals. The demand curve of professionals is given by Qp = 200-2Pp and the demand curve by students is given by Qs = 150 - 3Ps. The firm's cost function is C(Q) = 400+5Q. (a) If the firm can price discriminate, what price should it charge in each market to maximize profits? How much profit does it earn? (b) If the firm cannot price discriminate, what price should it charge? Verify that it sells to both markets at this price. How much profit does it earn? Hint: If the firm cannot price discriminate, this means it must treat the two markets as a single combined market.

Consider a market with a monopoly firm. Sales revenue of this firm is $10,340,000$⁢10,340,000, total cost is $4,400,000$⁢4,400,000, and average cost is $2.00$⁢2.00. Another firm wants to enter the market and provide the same product at a lower price. To intimidate the potential competitor, the monopoly firm intends to use predatory pricing.By how much can this firm reduce the price of its product without losses? Enter your answer in the box below and round to two decimal places if necessary.
