If the elasticity of demand for the product is -2, find the marginal cost of the last unit produced. b. What is the firm's percentage markup of price over marginal cost? c.

- Solve within one hour for upvotearrow_forwardA monopolist firm faces a demand with constant elasticity of -1.3. It has a constant marginal cost of $18 per unit and sets a price to maximize profit. If marginal cost should increase by 20 percent, would the price charged also rise by 20 percent? A. Yes. Since the price elasticity of demand is constant, P = 1.3MC. Thus, if MC increases by 20 percent, price also increases by 20 percent. B. No. Since the demand curve is downward sloping, a 20 percent increase in MC will cause the price to increase by more than 20 percent. OC. Yes. Since the price elasticity of demand is constant, P = 4.33MC. Thus, if MC increases by 20 percent, price also increases by 20 percent. OD. No. Since the demand curve is downward sloping, a 20 percent increase in MC will cause the price to increase by less than 20 percent.arrow_forwardOn a diagram with quantity on the horizontal axis and price on the vertical axis, the short run per unit profit for a monopolist is a. a vertical distance. b. the area of a rectangle.
