Monopolistic Competition Consider the folowing graph, (graph 1) for the short run equilibrium for a monopolisticaily competitive firm producing printers for commercial operations. Graph1 $ Price per unit P1 ATC MC P2 Pa D3 D2 D3 Q2 Qu Q3 Quantity MR2 MR. The following information is given: D1 = $35,000- $15Q TC = $550,000+ $1,000Q+ $10Q? Answer the following and referring to the relevant elements of graph 1 above and show all workings. (a) Calculate price output and profit for the short run equilibrium (show all workings). (b) Calculate price, output and profit for the long run equilibrium (with and without product differentiation) (show all workings). (c) Is the market allocatively efficient in the short run or long run (why or why not?). (d) Is the market productively efficient in the short run or long run (why or why not?).
Use the following information to determine the optimal decisions. Inverse Demand: P = 115 - 0.05Q MR = 115 - 0.1Q TC = 300 + 3Q + 0.2Q2 MC = 3 + 0.4Q Acting like a monopoly what profit would the Pendleton P.A.C make for each show?
Quick Buck and Pushy Sales produce and sell identical products and face zero marginal and average cost. The accompanying graph shows the market demand curve for their product. Price ($/unit) 1000 2000 3000 4,000 Quantity (units/month) If Quick Buck and Pushy Sales decide to collude and work together as a monopolist, then together they should produce Multiple Choice 3,000; $1 4,000; $2 D 2,000; $2 1,000; $3 units per month and charge per unit.
If this monopolistic firm's marginal cost is constant at $30, its profit maximizing output is: (Hint: Demand is linear (P-a-bQ) implying that the MR curve's slope is twice the demand curve slope; find the demand curve and then the MR curve.)

If a firm sets its output in the short run such that marginal revenue, marginal cost and average total cost are equal, then profits are the firm is monopolistically competitive. if the firm is perfectly competitive and profits are if zero; positive zero ; zero positive ; zero positive ; positive
Suppose you are a monopolist and you have two customers, A and B. Each will buy either zero or one unit of the good you produce. A is willing to pay up to $35 for your product; B is willing to pay up to $10. You produce this good at a constant average and marginal cost of $8. If you could not engage in third-degree price discrimination, what price would you charge? OA $10. OB. $15. OC. $35. OD. $45. If you could practice third-degree price discrimination, you will earn a profit of $ (For simplicity, assume that if a consumer is indifferent between buying and not buying, he will buy.)
