19. Firm A is monopolist in x market, and it consumes one unit of y in order to produce one unit of x. It costs 5 + py TL to produce one unit of x. (py is the price of product y.) y is produced by a monopolist, B, and it costs 5 TL to produce one unitf of y. The demand for x is defined by px = 50-qx (px product price, qx quantity demanded). a) Assume that px is set by Firm A and py is set by Firm B. What would be the equilibrium prices for products x and y? Calculate Firm A and B's profits. b) Assume that Firms A and B merge together. What would be the equilibrium prices for products x and y? Calculate the profits of the new firm. c) Would the merger between A and B increase the consumer surplus? Why (not)?

. Let the demand curve for a monopolist’s product be P = 100 – 2Qd and the marginal cost of production be constant at MC = 10. Suppose that the firm considers moving from a uniform pricing strategy to a two-block tariff where the first block provides 15 units at a price of P1 = $70 and the second block provides an additional 15 units at a price of P2 = $40. How much does the monopolist’s profit rise with this scheme?
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?

Currently the market for domestic air travel in OzLand is a monopoly with Qanwings as the supplier. A new supplier, Cheap Flights, enters the market. Suppliers in the market compete by simultaneously choosing the quantity of flights they will supply. Which of the following is most likely to occur after the entry of the new supplier to the market for domestic air travel? a.The total quantity of flights will increase. b.The total quantity of flights will not change. c.The total quantity of flights will decrease. d. It is not possible to say what will happen to the quantity of flights.

Hot Air Balloon Rides is a single-price monopoly. Columns 1 and 2 of the table set out the market demand schedule and columns 2 and 3 set out the total cost schedule. Now suppose that the government places a fixed tax on Hot Air's profit of $40 a month. Calculate Hot Air's new profit-maximizing output and price. When Hot Air is producing its new profit-maximizing output, the number of rides it produces is a month and the profit-maximizing price of a ride is $ >>> Answer to 1 decimal place.
