Initially, a profit maximizing local monopolist charges $15 and sells 500 units per week. Per unit variable cost is $10. Now assume the local government begins to provide 100 units per week at the market price. As a result, the market price falls to $13 and the quantity sold by the monopolist falls to 430. a) Find the changes in Consumer surplus , Producer surplus , and Government surplus created by the monopoly. b) Assume the METB (marginal excess tax burden)is 0.25. Find the changes in SS. c) Depict all of this in a diagram.
A monopolist faces a market demand curve given by: Q= 70−p. a) If the monopolist can produce at constant average and marginal costs of: AC = MC = 6. what output level will the monopolist choose to maximize profits? What is the price at this output level? What are the monopolist’s profits? b)Assume instead that the monopolist has a cost structure where total costs are described by: C(Q) = 0.25Q^2 - 5Q + 300.With the monopolist facing the same market demand and marginal revenue, what price- quantity combination will be chosen now? What will profits be? c)Assume instead that the monopolist has a cost structure where total costs are described by: C(Q) = 0.0133Q^3 -5Q + 250.With the monopolist facing the same market demand and marginal revenue, what price-quantity combination will be chosen now? What will profits be? d) Graph the market demand curve, the MR curve, and the three marginal cost curves from (a), (b), and (c).
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…
You are considering entering a market serviced by a monopolist You are considering entering a market serviced by a monopolist. You currently earn $0 economic profits, while the monopolist earns $5. If you enter the market and the monopolist engages in a price war, you will lose $5 and the monopolist will earn $1. If the monopolist doesn’t engage in a price war, you will each earn profits of $2.There are two possible solutions or equilibria. What are they? You are considering entering a market serviced by a monopolist
A monopolist sells output for $4.00 per unit at the current level of production. At this level of output, the marginal cost is $3.00, average variable costs are $3.75, and average total costs are $4.25. The marginal revenue is $3.00. What is the short-run condition for the monopolist and what output changes would you recommend?
A firm is originally operating as a single-price monopolist that faces a market demand curve P(Q) = 198 –0 and total cost curve equal to TC (q) = 10, 500 + 32Q, with constant MC equal to MC(Q) = 32 for all units produced. Part (a): How much output does the firm produce and at what price is each unit sold for? Part (b): Calculate the firm's profit. The firm now realizes there are actually two distinct groups of consumers that purchase their product, with the following demand functions: P(q1) = 242 – qı P(q2) = 176 – 92 Their total and marginal cost curves have not changed. If the firm wanted to successfully practice third-degree price discrimination: Part (c): How many units of output would they sell to group 1 and how much will each consumer in group 1 pay? Part (d): How many units of output would they sell to group 2 and how much will each consumer in group 2 pay? Part (e): How much profit is earned by the firm when they practice third-degree price discrimination? Part (f): How much…
The market demand curve is Q = 500 - 10P. The total cost function for the entire market is 400 + 10Q. (a) Calculate the price and quantity if this market is perfectly competitive. (b) Calculate the price, quantity and profit if this market is a monopoly. Calculate the price elasticity for the monopolist.

All 20 consumers are alike and each has a demand curve for a monopolist's product of p=15 -3q. The cost of production C(Q) =2Q. Let the monopolist charge a price of $PM for qM unit purchased. Find the menu prices that maximize profits? (The buyer pays menu price PM for quantity qM) What is the maximum profit the monopolist can earn in this market? (pi)?

Why did the Bank of England in 2021 set bank rates to be maintained at 0.1%?
a profit-maximizing monopolist faces the demand curve q=200-5p. it produces at a constant marginal cost of $10 per unit. a quantity tax of $10 per unit is imposed on the monopolist's product which the monopolist should pay. the price of the monopolist's product after the tax. hint: since the conopolist will pay the tax, it increases its cost. you must write the correct cost function to solve the problem.
