- Assume inverse demand function for game console in an imaginary country is P=1200-4Q and the total cost function is TC=400+4Q2. Government put $120 of specific tax on production. If the market is competitive what is the incidence of tax on consumer? If the market is monopolist what is the incidence of tax on consumer?X company is a monopoly. Demand equation in this market is given as: ? = 100 − 2P and total cost equation is as the following: ?? = 2? 2 + 10. Find monopoly quantity, price and profit.The total revenue curve for a firm is given by TR = 2Q. Multiple Choice The firm is definitely a monopolist. The firm is definitely not a monopolist. The firm may be a monopolist or a perfectly competitive firm. One cannot tell from the equation what market form applies.
- (1) A monopolist is forced to lower its price in order to sell another unit of its product. This describes the problem of A-persistent economic profits. B-market power. C-diseconomies of scale D-economies of scale. E-market discrimination (2)Koel is the single producer of home air conditioners in its rural market. The firm's monthly demand is described by the equation P = 5000 − 5Q, where P is the price and Q is the quantity of units sold. Which of the following must be true of Koel? A-An increase in price decreases the quantity sold. B-It is a natural monopoly. C-A decrease in price decreases the quantity sold. D-Higher levels of output bring in increasingly lower total revenue if demand is elastic. E-Maintaining the current price decreases the quantity sold over time.

In which market must…Define the income elasticity of demand What is a normal and an inferior good? Define the cross-price elasticity of demand Compare and contrast monopoly and perfect competition market structure in long-run.Math Problem: Suppose that a monopolist, who sells all units at a uniform price, faces an inverse market demand curve P=100- 2Q. If the firm’s total cost were instead positive, given by the function TC=10Q, what output would the firm produce to maximize profit, what price would the firm charge, and what profit would the firm earn? Give the numerical value of these three variables. Typed answer please. I ll rate
- Question :- A monopolist faces an inverse demand curve given by P= 800 - 2Q and a cost curve given by C(Q)= 40Q + 3Q2. If this firm practices 1st degree price discrimination, it will earn _______ in surplus. Select one: a. $36,100 b. None of these. c. $28,880 d. $0Only answer BOLD and ITALIC part of the question. A monopolist has discovered that the inverse demand function of a person with income Y for the monopolist’s product is P = 0.002Y-Q where P is the price, Y the income, and Q is the output. The monopolist can observe the incomes of its consumers and hence vary its price accordingly. The monopolist has a total cost function C(Q) = 100Q. A monopolist has a constant marginal cost of £2 per unit and no fixed costs. He faces two separate markets in the United States and in the UK. The goods sold in one market are never resold in the other. He sets one price P1 for the US market and another price P2 for the UK market (both measured in £). The demand in the United States is given by Q1=7,000-700P1 and the demand in the UK is given by Q2=1,200-200P2. - Calculate the profit maximising output produced and price charged in each country by the price-discriminating monopolist and comment in which country the price charged is higher and by how much.…instructions please tackle d only. answers for a, b and c are attached as photos. The Metro Electric Company produces and distributes electricity to residential customers in the metropolitan area. This company is a monopoly and faces the following (inverse) demand: P = 0.04 – 0.01Q, where Q is the quantity and P is the price per unit. Its cost function is: C(Q) = 0.005Q + 0.00375Q². (a) What is the firm's marginal cost function? What is the firm's marginal revenue function? Find the equilibrium price and quantity. (b) Illustrate graphically the equilibrium price, quantity, consumer surplus, and producer surplus. (c) Compute the equilibrium consumer surplus and producer surplus. Compute the deadweight loss of this monopoly. (d) Now a new competitor, Western Light, with constant marginal costs MC. = 0.025 can potentially enter the market. What can Metro Electric Company do to retain the market? What price would it charge? What quantity would it produce? How do the deadweight loss in this…
- Q24 Monopolists, like firms in other market structures, strive to maximize profit. Microsoft when it first came out with its Windows operating system was thought to be a monopolist. Assume that Microsoft is a monopolist producing an output such that ATC = $11, P = $9, MC = $5, MR = $6, and AVC = $4.50. Microsoft is realizing Multiple Choice an economic loss that could be reduced by producing more output. economies of scale. an economic profit that could be increased by producing less output. an economic loss that could be reduced by producing less output.I need a full explanation for these questions 1.
