A movie production company is planning to make its new movie available online so that it can enjoy monopoly power. Each time the movie is downloaded the production company has to pay 4 taka to the internet service provider. Now it is deciding what price to charge for each download. The numbers below shows the demand schedule for the company, Price per download dollar - 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0. Quantity of downloads demands 0, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15.
a) Calculate the total revenue and marginal revenue per download.
b) To maximize profit what price should be charged and how many downloads would need to be sold?

The table shows the demand schedule of a monopolist.
Calculate marginal revenue and fill in the revenue column in
the table. Assume that output can only be sold in integer
amounts (i.e., 11 unit, 22 units, etc.). Once you have filled in
marginal revenue, identify the quantity produced by the
monopolist in this market.

- Suppose a monopolist sells a product to faculty members and students on the campus. If the firm sets a single price, the monopolist produces 5000 units and sell them at the price of $3 per unit. At this price, the price elasticity of demand for faculty member is -2.5. And the price elasticity of demand for students is -1.5. The monopolist is considering whether she should set different prices for the faculty members and students and asks for your advice. The monopolist is thinking about charging faculty members a 10% higher price. The quantity demanded by the faculty members would fall by %.
