The demand and total cost functions for a monopoly firm are: Q(P) = 39.5 – 0.5P and TC(Q) = 60 – Q + 0.5 Q^2 What would be the socially optimal Q* and P* (round to 1 decimal place if needed)? - where MC intersects the demand curve
All consumers are alike and each has an demand curve for a monopolist’s product of P=100-2Qd. The marginal cost of production is constant at MC = $10. Let the monopolist charge a price of $10 per unit purchased and a subscription fee of $2025 that must be paid by each purchaser. What is the amount of consumer’s surplus left over by this scheme?
The demand and total cost functions for a monopoly firm are:Q(P) = 39.5 – 0.5PTC(Q) = 60 – Q + 0.5 Q2a) Plot the demand, marginal revenue, marginal cost, and average total cost curves, including the intersections with the horizontal and vertical axes. b) What are the profit maximising QM and PM for this firm? c) What is the firm’s profit πM? d) What are the firm's fixed and variable costs? e) What would be the socially optimal Q* and P* (round to 1 decimal place if needed)?
a profit-maximizing monopolist faces the demand curve q=200-5p. it produces at a constant marginal cost of $10 per unit. a quantity tax of $10 per unit is imposed on the monopolist's product which the monopolist should pay. the price of the monopolist's product after the tax. hint: since the conopolist will pay the tax, it increases its cost. you must write the correct cost function to solve the problem.
Suppose a certain city has a monopoly cable-television company. This company has total costs TC = 0.25Q2 + 30Q + 70. (Hint: using calculus, this means MC = 0.5Q+ 30since MC is the derivative of TC with respect to output.) The demand in the community is approximated by the equationQd = 60- P/2(alternatively, you can write the demand equation as Qd = 60–0.5P). Graphically depict the demand curve as well as the marginal cost (MC) curve. If the cable company is free to choose its own pricePm and quantityQm, graphically depictthe monopoly equilibrium price and quantity. Add any other curve(s) to your diagram that may be required to obtain this outcome. Compute and state the exact monopolist equilibrium pricePm and quantityQm that you depicted graphically.
As the manager of a monopoly, you face potential government regulation. Your inversedemand is P = 40 − 2Q, and your costs are C(Q) = 8Q. b. Determine the socially efficient price and output.
Market Demand is given in the table below. The only producer in the market is a monopolist. They have a constant Marginal Cost of $25. Assume no externalities and only integer units. What is the change in TOTAL Surplus if the monopolist goes from charging the same price for every unit (i.e. single-price) to doing perfect price discrimination. Enter a number only, no $ sign. Include a negative sign if Total Surplus under the single-price setting is higher. Q MWTP 1 $64 2 $48 3 $32 4 $21 5 13
As the manager of a monopoly, you face potential government regulation. Your inverse demand is P = 40 − 2Q, and your costs are C(Q) = 8Q. a. Determine the monopoly price and output. b. Determine the socially efficient price and output. c. What is the maximum amount your firm should be willing to spend on lobbying efforts to prevent the price from being regulated at the socially optimal level?
A monopolist has its cost of production is given by 10Q + 2Q2 (thus, its marginal cost curve or inverse supply curve is given by 10 + 4Q). Demand for the monopolist's products is Q = 200 − P. 1. What is the quantity that the monopolist will produce if a tax of $15 per unit is imposed on the buyers of the product?
Once a monopolist has determined its profit-maximizing (equilibrium) quantity of output, QM, which condition does it use to set the price? Question 9Answer a. None of the other options are correct b. Price = Demand at QM c. Price = Average Cost at QM d. Price = Marginal Cost at QM
The demand function facing the monopolist is given by D(p) 10/p, and the monopolist has positive marginsl cost of c. What is the profit maximising level of output
Suppose that a monopolist can segregate his buyers into two different groups to which he can charge two different prices. In order to maximize profit, the monopolist should charge a higher price to the group that has:*the higher elasticity of demand.the lower elasticity of demand.richer members.none of the above The socially optimal price (P = MC) is socially optimal because*it reduces the monopolist’s profit.it yields a normal profit.it minimizes ATC.it achieves allocative efficiency. The main problem with imposing the socially optimal price (P = MC) on a monopoly is that the socially optimal price:may be so low that the regulated monopoly can’t break even.may cause the regulated monopoly to engage in price discrimination.may be higher than the monopoly price.none of the above
