Consider a monopoly market in which the market demand curve is given by P = 240 - 2Q, the marginal revenue curve is MR = 240 – 4Q, the marginal cost curve is MC = 2Q, and there are zero fixed costs. Suppose the government intervenes and turns the market into a competitive market, and all the firms in the market have the same marginal cost curve as the monopolist, MC = 2Q, and zero fixed costs. How much is the resulting gain in total surplus? 400 800 300 600
If, in a monopoly market, the demand for a product is p = 195 − 0.10x and the revenue function is R = px, where x is the number of units sold, what price will maximize revenue? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
In a monopoly situation, the equation for the demand for a certain commodity in dollars per unit is (P) = 12-0.5x. If the total cost for the production and sale of x units is given by C (x) = - x ^ 3/100 + 3 ^ 2/10, calculate the unit price if profit is to be maximized.
You own a road resurfacing business called Dahyun Bricks services located in Seoul. You are the only reservicing business in South Korea. Therefore, you have a local monopoly. Your experience running the company for many years has taught you that market demand for your service can be described by the demand function: p = 20 - Q. The cost function is c =q². Therefore, marginal cost equals 2q. Quantity refersto square metre of road resurfacing. Note the Q denotes aggregate market demand and q denotes your production. Of course, if you are the only supplier than q = Q. a) Compute profit maximising price and output. Compute profits. b) The monopoly profit that you have been earning has attracted attention from another firm that will set up operations in South Koreaand compete for market share. You are concerned with losing market share and profit. So, you offer the potential entrant the following deal. Both firms agree to maximise industry profits (joint profits). The potential entrant…
Suppose a monopolist faces a demand equation given by P=20-Q, and a marginal revenue equation given by MR = 20-2Q, and MC=AVC=ATC=$6. What is the deadweight loss associated with the monopolist? a) $8.5 b) $33.25 c) $24.5 d) $12.5
Jackelina's company is a monopoly that faces demand Qd = a - bp, where a and b are positive numbers. The monopolist's marginal revenue function is: MR = a-2bP MR = a/Q - b = MR a/b - 2Q/b MR = a -2bQ
1. A firm faces the following inverse demand curve: P = 500 - 0.25Q Where: Q is the monthly production P is price, measured in dollars per unit. The firm also has a total cost (TC) function of: TC = 200Q. Assuming the firm maximizes profits, answer the following: a) Assuming the firm operates as a monopolist, calculate the following: price, quantity, and profit. Graph and show the equilibrium price and quantity. b) Assuming perfect competition, what are price, quantity and profit? Show on the graph from above.
Suppose a monopolist's total cost function is given by c = 0.004q +30q + 2000, and the revenue function is r = q(1200 - 6q), where c is measured in dollars and q is measured in tonnes per week. a. Determine marginal cost when g = 50. b. Express profit (n) as a function of q. Determine the profit-maximising level of output and the corresponding maximum profit. Justify your answers. C.
Assume quantities need not be integers. A monopolist incurs marginal cost equal to MC=Q per unit and faces demand P(Q)=18 – 3 x Q. If there is no fixed cost for production, what is the total cost of production?
Yongling is a monopoly seller of a good in a town. She has a fixed supply of 8 units and no other costs. The market demand curve for the product is P = 20-q. What is her profit if she sells to all her clients at the same price?
None
Consider a monopoly with inverse demand given by P(q)=a-bq and cost function c(q)=cq, where a>c>0 and b>0 are parameters, and q is the quantity supplied by the monopoly. Find the monopoly’s profit-maximizing price and output, and calculate the output and the welfare loss compared to the competitive outcome.
