Let's tackle each part of the question step by step:1. **Monopoly Market:** A) To find the profit-maximizing output and price, we first need to find the monopolist's marginal revenue (MR) function. MR is the derivative of total revenue (TR) with respect to quantity (Q). TR is simply the product of price (P) and quantity (Q). \[TR = P \times Q = (120 - Q) \times Q = 120Q - Q^2\] Taking the derivative of TR with respect to Q: \[MR = \frac{dTR}{dQ} = \frac{d(120Q - Q^2)}{dQ} = 120 - 2Q\] Setting MR equal to marginal cost (MC) to maximize profit: \[MR = MC\] \[120 - 2Q = 20\] \[100 = 2Q\] \[Q = 50\] Now, substitute $Q = 50$ into the demand function to find the price: \[P = 120 - Q = 120 - 50 = 70\] So, the profit-maximizing output is 50 units, and the price is $70. B) To find the total profit, we need to subtract total costs from total revenue: \[TR = P \times Q = 70 \times 50 = 3500\] \[TC = 20Q 200 = 20(50) 200 = 1000\] Total profit: \[Total\ Profit = TR - TC = 3500 - 1000 = 2500\]2.…
