Assume that consumers value a high quality piece of furniture at 5000 and a bad quality one at 3000. Assume that producing a bad quality piece of furniture costs the manufacturer 3500 and producing a high quality one costs 5000. . A) If the manufacturer is a monopolist, what will be the equilibrium sales prices on this market? B) How would your answer change, if the cost of producing a low quality piece of furniture went to 2900?
A monopolist faces linear demandp = a - Bq and has cost C = cq + F, where all parameters are positive, a > c, and (a – c)? > 4BF. (a) Solve for the monopolist's output, price, and profits. (b) Calculate the deadweight loss. Assume now the government requires this firm to set the price that maximizes the sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus, and to serve all buyers at that price. (c) What is the price the firm must charge? (d) Calculate the firm's profit (or loss) under this regulation. Is this form of regulation sustainable in the long run?
Give explanation of the correct option and explanation of the incorrect options. Note: Dear expert hand written is not allowed.
(a) A monopolist has discovered that the inverse demand function of a person with income Y for the monopolist’s product is P = 0.002Y-Q where P is the price, Y the income, and Q is the output. The monopolist can observe the incomes of its consumers and hence vary its price accordingly. The monopolist has a total cost function C(Q) = 100Q. Calculate the profit maximising price as a function of the consumer’s income Y carefully explaining all the steps in the derivation of the formula. (b) A monopolist has a constant marginal cost of £2 per unit and no fixed costs. He faces two separate markets in the United States and in the UK. The goods sold in one market are never resold in the other. He sets one price P1 for the US market and another price P2 for the UK market (both measured in £). The demand in the United States is given by Q1=7,000-700P1 and the demand in the UK is given by Q2=1,200-200P1. Calculate the profit maximising output produced and price charged in each country by the…
Exercise A.2. Suppose a company that is the only producer in a given sector of activity and can produce with an average and marginal cost of €10. The company faces a market demand curve given by Q=100-P. a) What is the price range in which this monopolist will operate? Why? b) Get the amount you will produce and the sale price you will charge. Calculate its benefits? Represent graphically.

A monopolist sets the price as a function of the product produced. For every Q of products produced, the selling price is set at (100 – 4Q) $/unit. Fixed costs are $50 and variable costs are set at $2/unit. Assume that all products produced can be sold. If the local government imposes a tax of $2/unit sold, should the company increase or decrease its production? Explain!
Q)Economics A market comprises two consumers groups: high-demand types and low-demand types. The high types have demand QH = 10 – P and low types have demand QL = 8 – P. If a monopolist has marginal cost MC = 1 + Q, what is the profit maximising price the monopolist would charge if they are not able to price discriminate? a. 5 b. 6 c. 4 d. 7
7) Candice wants to sell two types of chocolate bars, Dark (D) and White (W) to three consumers: A, B, and C. Each consumer's reservation price for each bar is given in the figure below. Candice purchases each bar at a cost of 1. Candice considers practicing either pure or mixed bundling. What is the maximum profits Candice can earn? BC 0 3 2 2 A Dark White 3
3. A monopolist faces a demand curve of P = 120 – 2q and has a production function given by f (L, K) = L'/4K¼. Input prices are w = 1 and r = 4. (a) Calculate the monopolist's (long-run) marginal cost as a function of the quantity it produces. (b) Draw a diagram illustrating the monopolist's problem. Identify each of the following on the diagram and calculate its numeric value: (i) monopolist's profit-maximizing quantity, (ii) price charged, (iii) monopolist's profit, (iv) consumer surplus, (v) producer surplus, and (vi) deadweight loss. Two notes: (1) the area of a triangle is base * height, (2) if you are getting really messy answers here, you may have made a mistake in part (a). (c) The government is concerned about the monopoly and decides to impose a price ceiling. Illustrate the efficient price ceiling on your diagram. i. Illustrate and calculate the price ceiling that will result in an efficient outcome. ii. Compute consumer and producer surplus at the efficient outcome. iii.…

Question 1. In this question we begin by constructing a competitive market for a good, and then compare the outcome when supply is controlled by a single-price monopolist. Suppose that the demand for units of some beverage comes from households with the preferences over units of the beverage (x1) and expenditure on all other goods (x2) represented by the following utility function, U(x1,x2) = 800 In(x1) + x2 Each household has an exogenous income of I per period. The second 'good' is referred to as a 'composite' good and is an amount of money. We assume throughout that p2 = 1. (4 marks) Derive a household's ordinary demand functions, x1(P1, 1,1) and x2(P1,1,1) when they are price-takers in the market for the beverage. How large does the exogenous income need to be in order for the household to enjoy a positive amount of both 'goods'? i) (2 marks) Suppose there are 80 households who participate in the market for the beverage. Half of the households have an income of $1200 per period,…
