Dog
A patent gave Sony a legal monopoly to produce a robot dog called Aibo. The Chihuahua-size pooch robot can sit, chase balls, dance, and play an electronic tune. When Sony started selling the toy in July 1999, it announced that it would sell 3,000 Aibo robots in Japan for about $2,000 each and a limited litter of in the United States for $2,500 each. Suppose that Sony's marginal cost of producing Aibos is $500.Its inverse demand curve is Pj= 3500−0.5Qj in Japan and Pa =4500−Qa Solve for the equilibrium prices and quantities (assuming that U.S. customers cannot buy robots from Japan). The equilibrium quantity in Japan is ____and the price, Pj is $____
Which of the following statements about monopolies are correct? There is more than one correct answer to this question. You must mark all of the correct answers to receive full credit for this question. OAt the profit maximizing output for a monopoly, P< MR. OMonopolies are always illegal in the U.S. O If a firm enjoys decreasing returns to scale, this may help it to become a monopoly. In a pure monopoly, the firm is the industry. O A patent can help a firm to become a monopoly.
Compare the efficiency of monopoly and perfect competition. Which is more efficient? Explain your reasoning and illustrate with a hypothetical example.
In 2015, Apple introduced the Apple Watch. Assume that the cost of producing the 38mm Apple Watch Sport was $83. The price was $336. What was Apple's price/marginal cost ratio? What was its Lerner Index? If Apple is a short-run profit-maximizing monopoly, what elasticity of demand did Apple believe it faced? Part 2 Apple's price/marginal cost ratio was enter your response here.
Which of the following statements is true of a monopoly as compared to a perfectly competitive market with the same costs? * Consumer surplus is smaller. Profit is smaller. Deadweight loss is smaller. Total surplus is larger. O Quantity is larger.
Simple econ question, thank you!
Draw an example of a monopoly with a linear demand curve and a constant marginal cost curve. a. Show the profit-maximizing price and output and and identify the areas of consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss. Also show the quantity that would be produced if the monopoly were to act like a price taker. b. Now suppose that the demand curve is a smooth concave-to-the-origin curve (whose ends hit the axes) that is tangent to the original demand curve at the point Explain why the monopoly equilibrium will be the same as with the linear demand curve. Show how much output the firm would produce if it acted like a price taker. Show how the welfare areas change. c. Repeat the exercises in part b if the demand curve is a smooth convex-to-the-origin curve (whose ends hit the axes) that is tangent to the original demand curve at the point
When we compare monopoly to perfect competition in the long run,we expect the monopoly model to generate an outcome with Question 9 options: higher prices, break-even profits, and allocative efficiency higher prices, economic profits, and allocative efficiency lower prices, economic profits, and deadweight Joss higher prices, break-even profits, and deadwcight loss higher prices, economic profits, and deadweight loss
