The inverse demand curve a monopoly faces is
p=120-2Q.
The firm's cost curve is
C(Q) = 40 +6Q.
What is the profit-maximizing solution?
The profit-maximizing quantity is 28.50. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
The profit-maximizing price is $63.00. (round your answer to two decimal places.)
What is the firm's economic profit?
The firm earns a profit of $ 1584.50. (round your answer to two decimal places.)
How does your answer change if C(Q)= 100+6Q? The increase in fixed cost
OA. has no effect on the equilibrium quantity, but the equilibrium price increases and profit decreases.
B. causes the firm to increase both the price and quantity, and profit increases.
OC. has no effect on the equilibrium quantity, but the equilibrium price increases and profit increases.
D. has no effect on the equilibrium price and quantity, but profit will decrease.

- Monopoly firms are a lot more profitable than perfectly competitive firms. The primary reason is that the monopoly firm charges a price that is greater than marginal cost at the profit maximizing quantity. Explain this statement with a graph. Specifically, explain how the profit maximizing quantity and price are determined.arrow_forwardSuppose a monopoly is producing at its profit-maximising (loss-minimizing) quantity, and the price corresponding to this quantity is below average total cost but above average variable cost. The monopoly will shut down in the short run but return to production in the long run shut down in the short run and exit the market in the long run keep producing both in the short run and in the long run keep producing in the short run but exit the market in the long run None of the above.arrow_forwardA firm is a natural monopoly. Its marginal cost curve is flat, and its average cost curve is downward sloping (because it has a fixed cost). The firm can perfectly price discriminate. Use a graph to show how much the monopoly produces, Q*. Show graphically and mathematically that a monopoly might shut down if it can only set a single price but operate if it can perfectly price discriminate.arrow_forward
