- QUESTION 2 Let a monopolist has 8 stores in a city. Using Hotelling linear city model, calculate the Total Social Surplus (TSS) and profit of the monopolist. Can we say that TSS is at its maximum when the number of firms is four? Can we say that profit is maximised when the number of firms is seven? Justify your answers clearly. (Note: Use ALL of the assumptions below and also following values for the parameters: R = $10; c = $2; N = 1000; t = $2; and F = $40 in your analysis). Assumptions : prices and quantities for the two stores given any fixed locations for the two. how the two stores would compete in terms of locations if they could move back and forth along the length of land l at zero costs. the socially efficient location of stores for any number of stores. Main Street is of length l = 1 mile; so the street begins at l = 0 and ends at l = 1. There are N identical consumers each with the same utility function equally spaced along Main Street; that is, there is a uniform…Item 7 Suppose a monopolist’s profit-maximizing output is 400 units per week and that the firm sells its output at a price of $40 per unit. The firm has total costs of $8,000 per week. Assume the monopolist is maximizing its profit and earns $20 per unit from the sale of the last unit produced each week.A monopolist with total cost 500 - 100Q + 3Q2 and marginal cost MC = 6Q - 100 faces average revenue (demand) P = 2,000 - 2Q and hence marginal revenue MR = 2000 - 4Q. Calculate: (a) the quantity that the monopolist will sell (b) the price that the monopolist will charge (c) the competitive quantity (d) the competitive price (c) the deadweight loss from monopoly power
- d) If a price ceiling of $17.50 is imposed by the government on the monopolist, estimate (based on the graph) the quantity that the monopolist will produce. In this case, does the price ceiling in a monopoly improve economic efficiency or not? e) Supposed that instead of a regular monopoly, the graph above pertains to a natural monopoly, what change must be made to the graph to depict a natural monopoly?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.…Understand economies of scale. At what point are there economies of scale and at what point are there diseconomies of scale? What does this have to do with the monopolist? Long-Run ATC Unit Costs a Q₁ Q₂ Output Q₂
- Question 27 Consider a monopoly market in which the market demand curve is given by P = 240 – 2Q, the marginal revenue curve is MR = 240 – 4Q, the marginal cost curve is MC = 2Q, and there are zero fixed costs. Suppose the government intervenes and turns the market into a competitive market, and all the firms in the market have the same marginal cost curve as the monopolist, MC = 2Q, and zero fixed costs. How much is the resulting gain in total surplus? 300 800 400 600Question 1 ( A monopolist sells Soma at the same price into two different markets. The inverse demand for Soma in market #1 is denoted p1(g) = 15 – q. The demand for Soma in market #2 is given by D2(p) = 80 – 3p. Assume the monopolist's cost function is C(q) = log(1 + q), where q represents the total quantity produced. (Note: (1) log denotes natural logarithm; (2) Round all answers to 2 decimal places.) 1. What is the profit maximizing quantity for the monopolist? 1 Answer:. Justification:A monopolist is faced with the following cost and revenue curves:(picture) a.What is the maximum-profit price and output,total revenue, total cost and profit? b.If the monopolist were ordered to produce 300 units, what would be the market price and how much profit would now be made c.If the monopolist were faced with the same demand, but average costs were constant at £60 per unit, what output would maximise profit? What would be the price now?................................................................................................. (j) How much profit would now be made? ................................................................................... (k) Assume now that the monopolist decides not to maximise profits, but instead sets a price of £40. How much will now be sold? .................................................................................................................................................. (l) What is the marginal revenue at this…
- a) True or False and Explain: A profit maximizing monopolist has no limit to how high they set the price. b) True of False and explain: When there are economies of scale in production it is possible for a competitive market to sustain the competitive equilibrium. c) When there are economies of scale in production, why is it beneficial to have only one producer?The inverse demand function of a monopolist is p(y) = 12 – y, and total costs is C(y)= y2 -20y +10. a. What is the profit-maximizing level of production? b. Suppose the government decides to tax the monopolist so that for each unit the monopolist sells it has to pay a tax of $2. What is the optimal output under this tax? c. Suppose the government now imposes a tax of 10% on the monopolist’s profits. What is the optimal output under this tax?Suppose you are a monopolist in the market for a specific Q video game. Your demand curve is given by P = 80- - and 2 your marginal cost curve is MC = Q. Your fixed cost is $400. i) Derive the marginal revenue curve. ii) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity. iii) What is the profit?
