Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Exhibit 9-4: A Monopoly**
| Price | Quantity Demanded | Total Fixed Cost | Total Variable Cost |
|-------|-------------------|------------------|---------------------|
| $100 | 0 | $20 | $0 |
| $90 | 1 | $20 | $20 |
| $80 | 2 | $20 | $48 |
| $70 | 3 | $20 | $78 |
| $60 | 4 | $20 | $110 |
| $50 | 5 | $20 | $150 |
**Refer to Exhibit 9-4. At an output level of 4 units, the monopolist earns a total profit of about _______.**
- $112.00
- $118.00
- $110.00
- $120.00
**Explanation:**
The table in Exhibit 9-4 represents the relationship between price, quantity demanded, and the costs associated with producing different quantities in a monopoly setting.
- **Price**: The selling price per unit at different levels of quantity demanded.
- **Quantity Demanded**: The number of units consumers are willing to buy at each price point.
- **Total Fixed Cost**: A constant cost of $20, which does not change with the level of output.
- **Total Variable Cost**: Costs that change with the level of production.
To calculate the total profit at 4 units:
1. Total Revenue = Price * Quantity Demanded = $60 * 4 = $240.
2. Total Cost = Total Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost = $20 + $110 = $130.
3. Total Profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost = $240 - $130 = $110.
Therefore, the monopolist earns a total profit of about $110.00 when the output level is 4 units.
