= 240 + 0.5Q², and face 4. A monopolist has the cost function TC(Q) market demand P = 45 – Q. (a) Find the monopoly equilibrium price and output. Find the monopolist's profit.
An amusement park has identified its demand functions as follows: Q = 50-3P The marginal operating cost of each unit of quantity is $5 and there are no fixed costs. The park is a monopolist and exercises significant price making power in the market. 1. If the monopolist charges same price for every unit, for what price are his profits maximized? How many units will be sold at that price? What are his total profits?
A monopolist faces the demand curve Q = 144 / P2, where Q is the quantity demanded and P is price. Its average variable cost is AVC = Q1/2 and its fixed cost is 20. What is the monopolist's profit-maximizing quantity, price, and profit?
The inverse demand function of a monopolist is p(y) = 100 – y, and total costs is C(y)= y2 +10. a. Find the profit-maximizing level of production and the maximum profit. b. Find the price-elasticity of the demand at the profit-maximizing quantity.
A simple profit-maximizing monopolist with a continuous linear demand curve has positive marginal costs at all levels of production above X = 0. Which one of the following statements is FALSE in the short run? Select one: a. At the chosen level of output, an increase in the price of the good will necessarily reduce total revenue b.At the chosen level of output, demand for the good is price elastic c. At the chosen level of output, the monopolist is not maximizing total revenue d.At the chosen level of output, economic profit is necessarily positive
Given the same costs, the monopolist produces less output and charges a higher price compared to the purely competitive industry. What makes this possible for the monopolist and not the purely competitive industry? What is the impact on the society of each?
A monopolist can produce at constant average total and marginal cost of ATC = MC = $20. (Constant ATC = MC implies that there are no fixed costs.) The firm faces a market demand curve given by QD = 40 - P. The monopolist's marginal revenue curve is given by MR = 40 - 2QD. Graph this situation, then calculate the monopolist's profit-maximizing price-quantity and the monopolist's profits. What output level would be produced by a corresponding perfectly competitive industry? What would be the price level? Calculate the "deadweight losses" from monopolization of the industry. Show the DWL on the graph.
A monopolist with total cost 500 - 100Q + 3Q2 and marginal cost MC = 6Q - 100 faces average revenue (demand) P = 2,000 - 2Q and hence marginal revenue MR = 2000 - 4Q. Calculate: (a) the quantity that the monopolist will sell (b) the price that the monopolist will charge (c) the competitive quantity (d) the competitive price (c) the deadweight loss from monopoly power
The demand for a monopolist’s output is 5,000/(p + 3)2, where p is the price it charges. At a price of $5, the elasticity of demand for the monopolist’s output is (Hint: is it positive or negative?) Please round your answer to two decimal places, if necessary.
