A monopolist has a cost function given by C(y)=y2 and faces a demand curve given by P(y) = 120-y. a) What is the profit maximising level of output and the price that the monopolist will charge? Show your calculations. b) If you impose a lump sum tax of £100 on this monopolist, what will be the impact on output? Explain your calculations and the intuition behind your result. c) If you wanted to choose a price ceiling for this monopolist so as to maximise consumer plus producer surplus, what price ceiling should you choose?

A monopolist has the following marginal revenue function MR = 1,600 - 20Q, and marginal cost function MC = 200 + 30Q and faces the following the demand curve p 1200-10Q. And the total cost function is TC= 200Q+15Q². Q refers to the number of units produced by the monopolist. Find the profit maximizing quantity (in number of units produced) for this monopolist. The result should be an integer number, no decimals (e.g. if the result is 3.65 write 4, if the result is 3.64, write 3). = Your Answer:
