Pablo is an artist who has a very unique style of painting. It is so unique that no one can replicate his artwork and he can operate as a monopoly. Assume demand for his paintings is linear and that he sells his paintings to maximise profits. Which of the following statements are true: The quantity of paintings Pablo produces needs to be such that price equals marginal cost. Pablo is a price maker. The price Pablo charges will be equal to his marginal revenue. Pablo's demand curve is twice as steep as his marginal revenue curve.
A profit-maximizing monopolist sells its goods to two different countries. In one country it faces demand as p1 180 – 2q2. Its marginal cost is 2qi. If the monopoly were to charge different prices in these markets, in which market it can charge a higher price, explain using elasticity. Calculate CS, PS, and DWL. What would be the price if the firm were to 120 – q, and in other country it faces demand as P2 charge one price for both markets.
ssume there is no price discrimination: Matthew, Rachel, Janice, and Mandy own the only ice company in town (they have a monopoly on the ice market). Matthew wants to sell as much ice as possible without losing money. Rachel wants the ice company to bring in as much revenue as possible. Janice wants to maximize total surplus and Many wants to make the largest possible profit. Use ONE clearly-labelled graph of the ice company’s marginal revenue, demand, and cost curves to show the price and quantity (i.e., ice) each person desires. Provide explanation.

3. Dumping. The firm Zapatero Ltd. has a monopoly on shoes in the Spanish market. Zapatero Ltd. can also sell in the international market which is perfectly competitive. However, the foreign firms are not allowed to sell in the Spanish market. The cost function of Zapatero Ltd. is TC = 2Q² – 12Q + 10, and the demand curve in Spain is P = 8 – 2Q. The price of shoes in the international market is 4. Determine graphically and anlytically the price of shoes in Spain and the international market. How is dumping defined in this case?
Suppose a monopoly's price elasticity of demand equals -2 and the marginal cost of production equals $400.00. The profit-maximizing price is $ (Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to two decimal places., What will be the firm's markup?

Graphically show a monopoly firm that currently sells 250 units of output at a price of $60/unit, where the marginal revenue of the 250th unit is $40, the marginal cost of the 250th unit is $50, and the average total cost at 250 units is $60. [Hint: Based on the information given, is the quantity you’re asked to show the profit-maximizing quantity? Think about what has to be true for profit-maximization.] Based on the graph and assuming the firm attempts to profit maximize (and succeeds), what would happen to price, quantity, MR, MC, and ATC? (rise, fall, or stay the same?)
The inverse demand curve a monopoly faces is p=120-2Q. The firm's cost curve is C(Q) = 40 +6Q. What is the profit-maximizing solution? The profit-maximizing quantity is 28.50. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) The profit-maximizing price is $63.00. (round your answer to two decimal places.) What is the firm's economic profit? The firm earns a profit of $ 1584.50. (round your answer to two decimal places.) How does your answer change if C(Q)= 100+6Q? The increase in fixed cost OA. has no effect on the equilibrium quantity, but the equilibrium price increases and profit decreases. B. causes the firm to increase both the price and quantity, and profit increases. OC. has no effect on the equilibrium quantity, but the equilibrium price increases and profit increases. D. has no effect on the equilibrium price and quantity, but profit will decrease.
A manufacturing company has a monopoly on the production. A single (individual) manufacturer demand for mixer is Q = 4 − P. The marginal cost of producing mixer is $1. Solve the following: 1. Profit-maximizing monopoly, quantity, price, and profit from serving this single concrete contractor.2. What would the quantity be if the Manufacturing company serves 100 mixercontractor identical to this one?
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion A monopolist has a demand curve given by P = 88 − Q and a total cost curve given by TC = 34 + Q2. The associated marginal cost curve is MC = 2Q. Suppose the monopolist also has access to a foreign market in which he can sell whatever quantity he chooses at a constant price of 60. How much will he sell in the foreign market? What will his new quantity and price be in the original market?
