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.…

- Kindly just let me know following formulas are correct or not? If the given formulas are not correct, then share with me correct formulas. Moreover, what is the difference between between formulas of Net Proceeds and Net Price? 1. Net Proceeds (NP) = Price (Flotation Cost)But if flotation rate is given instead of flotation cost, then Net Proceeds = Price (1 - Flotation Rate) 2. Net Price (Pn) = Issue Price - Flotation CostBut if flotation rate is given instead of flotation cost, then Net Proceeds = Issue Price - (1 - Flotation Rate)arrow_forwardHello! I have 2 formulas that give me the same result but I do not understand why. I want to understand why. I'll use the names of the values that are used in my problemFirst formula: X = [1 - ((Cost Rate) * (FX Rate) * (EIR/IPR))] Second formula: X = [1 - (((Cost Rate} * (FX Rate) * (EIR)) / (IPR))] Values: - Cost Rate = 100- FX Rate = 3- EIR = 2.5- IPR = 325.25 Both formulas result in - 1.3059I am mainly confused because in the first formula, only EIR is divided by IPR and then that result is multiplied by cost rate and fx rate. However in the second formula, cost rate, fx rate AND EIR are multiplied and then that entire value is divided by IPR.
