Q14 Monopolists, like firms in other market structure, strive to maximize profit. Microsoft when it first came out with its Windows operating system was thought to be a monopolist. Assume that Microsoft is a monopolist and calculates that at its present output level, marginal cost is $5.50 and marginal revenue is $4.50. Microsoft could increase profits by Multiple Choice decreasing output and leaving price unchanged. increasing price and decreasing output. decreasing price and increasing output. leaving both quatity and price unchanged. decreasing price and leaving output unchanged.
If the monopolist shown in the following figure could implement a two- part tariff, the entry fee would be: $0. $225. $450. $900. $1,200.
Which price and quantity combination is undesirable for both the monopolist firm and society? A and E B and F C and G D and H A and H
Assume a monopolist with downward-sloping demand and marginal revenue (MR) curves. The monopolist operates with standard marginal cost (MC) and average total cost (ATC) curves. How does a monopolist determine the profit-maximizing output level and the corresponding profit-maximizing price? A. The output level occurs where MR-MC and price is determined from the demand curve at this output level OB. The output level occurs where Demand = MC and price is determined from the marginal revenue curve at this output level. OC. Both the output level and price are found where MR = MC. OD. Both the output level and price are found where Demand = MC.
Once a monopolist has determined its profit-maximizing (equilibrium) quantity of output, QM, which condition does it use to set the price? Question 9Answer a. None of the other options are correct b. Price = Demand at QM c. Price = Average Cost at QM d. Price = Marginal Cost at QM
Question is in attached image. Thank you! Only answer D,E,F
Suppose that a monopolist calculates that at its present output level, marginal cost is $4.00 and marginal revenue is $4.00. The firm could increase profits by Multiple Choice increasing price and decreasing output. increasing price and maintaining its current output. decreasing price and leaving output unchanged. decreasing output and leaving price unchanged.
Q20 With regard to price discrimination, we can generally say that a monopolist practicing perfect price discrimination _____ a single-price monopolist in the same market. a. Produces the same output level and charges the same price as. b. Produces a lower level of output compared to. c. Generates more consumer surplus than. d. Generates a more efficient outcome for society as a whole compared to. e. Has the same effects on consumer welfare as.
Answer the question by referring to the table below. The table shows the demand curve facing a monopolistwho produces at constant marginal cost of 6. In short-run equilibrium, the monopolist will produceQuantity Price10 1020 930 840 750 660 5a) 20 unitsb) 30 unitsc) 40 unitsd) 50 units
MC ATC P2 P3 P4 MR Q, Q2 Quantity In the figure above, if the monopolist maximizes profit, how many units of output will be sold and at what price? Quantity = Q2, Price = P1 Quantity = Q1, Price = P3 Quantity = Q1, Price = P4 Quantity = Q2, Price = P2 Quantity = Q1, Price = P1 Price
