Acme is a monopolist for a good with inverse demand P = 4000 – 6Q, where P is the price in dollars and Q is the amount sold. Acme's variable costs are TVC(Q) = 4Q². With these functions, the marginal revenue is MR(Q) = 4000 – 12Q and marginal cost is MC(Q) = 8Q. a) If Acme has no fixed costs, what is its profit maximizing price? b) If Acme has non-sunk fixed costs of $700,000, is it worth operating or should they shut down?
Consider a monopolistic market with demand function: P = 36 – 0.5Q The monopolist’s marginal cost (MC) and total cost (TC) function are: MC = $2        TC = 4 + 2Q How much total economic profit does the monopolist earn?
You are the manager of a monopoly. A typical consumer’s inverse demand function for your firm’s product is P = 250 − 40Q, and your cost function is C(Q) = 10Q. a. Determine the optimal two-part pricing strategy. b. How much additional profit do you earn using a two-part pricing strategy compared with charging this consumer a per-unit price?
