There is a monopolist, Concrete Mex, in the concrete market in Mexico. The demand function is Qd= 100-50p. The marginal cost of production is c = 0.4. a) ConcreteMex claimed the high price is due to high transportation costs and persuaded the government to help cut down the costs. As a result, for every unit of concrete sold, the government subsidizes ConcreteMex 0.2 dollars. What are the new profit maximizing price and production level for ConcreteMex? b) Under the subsidy policy and the new price in a part, calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss. You do not need to consider government spending for the deadweight loss. c) Suppose ConcreteMex wants to enter a different market, the competitive market in Texas. To enter the market, ConcreteMex needs to pay a fixed cost of F = 1, and its variable cost in Texas is VC = (0.4+Q)Q. What is ConcreteMex’s total cost, marginal cost, and average total cost in Texas at production level Q?
If the demand of a Monopolist is as follows: Qd = 5500-12P And the TC function is equivalent to the following function: Total Cost = 8000 + Q2 a) Determine the level of production where profit is highest. b) Graph situation of the monopolist
In the 1928, Knoxville was served by a single railroad line. Because alternative forms of transportation were not close substitutes for rail transportation in 1928, this railroad had a transportation monopoly in Knoxville. The estimated monthly fixed cost associated with operating a railroad was $1,200. In addition, there was a constant average variable cost and marginal cost of $0.02 per ton-mile associated with the railroad's operation. The estimated monthly demand for transportation on the railroad was: Qd = q = 80,000 - 1,000,000P where Qd was the monthly quantity demanded in ton-miles and P was the price per ton-mile in dollars. Based upon the above equation, answer the following questions: a. What is the profit-maximizing price and quantity? b. Would a private company build the railroad? c. What is the socially optimal price and quantity?
Assume a monopolist produces rum and knows there are two groups of rum consumers, 1 and 2, with different price elasticities. Group 1 is highly price elastic with E1=-10; Group 2 exhibits a lower price elasticity of E2=-2.5. Assume the company can separate these two groups (e.g., by handing out special ID cards) and can charge two different prices. If P2=$14, how much can it charge to Group 1?
A monopolist book publisher with a constant marginal cost of 2 and no fixed costs sells novels in only two countries. Assume the inverse demand curve in country 1 is given by P1=10-2/3Qand the inverse demand curve in country 2 is given byPW=18-QAssuming book shipments across countries are banned so that price discrimination occurs.

Your current prices are $311 in the Southwestern region; $278 in the western-region and $240 in the New England region. Your marginal cost is now $212.21. Given the predicted changes in quantity demanded by region per problem 1 using the stay even analysis %ΔQd = %ΔP/[%ΔP +((P-MC)/P)], can you raise prices by 7% in any of the regional markets? State your conclusion and then show the all the steps supporting your conclusion. (Note you are not being asked to compute the new price. The predicted changes in quantity demanded by region per problem 1 are: 19.32 or 19% percent change in quantity demanded for the Southwestern region Western Region is 0.245 or 24.5 or 25% NE Region is 0.4032 or 40.32 or 40% I don't understand this question and need assistance.
Consider any market that has a demand curve given by: Qd = 125 - 0.4P. Being the total quantity demanded in the market, given the quantity in millions of units and the market price, calculated in monetary units. Imagine that there are 2 Cournot oligopolists operating in this market that have Cmg = CVme = 2. About this market, the question is: a) What is the reaction curvature of the oligopolists? b) What will be the production of each of the companies? c) What is the sale price for oligopolists?
A monopolist has demand and cost curves given by: QD = 1000 - 2P TC = 5,000 + 50Q Find the monopolist's profit-maximizing quantity and price. Find the monopolist's profit.
Q-3: A monopolist sells in 2 markets and produces in 1 factory. Although the monopolist can charge difference prices in the two markets, it must sell all units within a market at the same price.a) Suppose this monopolist does not have a marginal cost (M C = 0). If demand in market 1 is X1(p1) = a1 −b1p1 and demand in market 2 is X2(p2) = a2 −b2p2, set up the monopolist’s profit maximization problems and solve for the market prices that result in each market.b) Under what conditions on a1, b1, a2, b2 from above will the monopolist not price discriminate?c) If demand in market i, where i = 1 , 2, is instead Xi(pi) = aipi−bi and the monopolist has some constant marginal cost of c, where c > 0, set up the monopolist’s profit maximization problem and solve for the market prices.d) Under what conditions on a1, b1, a2, b2 from above will the monopolist not price discriminate?

An industry produces its product, Scruffs, at a constant marginal cost of $50. The market demand for Scruffs is equal to Q = 75000 - 600P a. What is the value to a monopolist who is able to develop a patented process for producing Scruffs at a cost of only $45? b. If the industry producing Scruffs is purely competitive, what is the maximum benefit that an inventor of a process that will reduce the cost of producing Scruffs by $5 per unit can expect to receive by licensing her invention to the firms in the industry?
