A monopolistic firm operates in two separate markets, Market A and Market B. The firm can sell its product at different prices in each market due to different demand conditions. In Market A, the firm faces a demand curve given by Q_A = 100 - P_A, where Q_A is the quantity demanded in Market A and P_A is the price charged in Market A. In Market B, the demand curve is Q_B = 80 - 2P_B, where Q_B is the quantity demanded in Market B and P_B is the price charged in Market B. The firm has a total production capacity of 120 units. What price should the firm charge in each market to maximize its total revenue?
The markets for Products X and Y both have many sellers, each earning an economic profit of zero in the long run. One of the markets is perfectly competitive while the other is monopolistically competitive. Which of the following information can help you determine which operates in a monopolistically competitive market structure? There is easy entry into the market for Product X. The firms selling product Y choose the profit-maximizing quantity where MR = MC. The price for Product Y is equal to the average total cost at the long-run equilibrium quantity. The price for Product X is higher than the marginal cost at the profit-maximizing quantity.
