Consider a monopolist with a demand equation P = 60 - 2Q, where P is the price in dollars and Q is the quantity. The monopolist is able to produce the output with a constant marginal cost of $20 which is equals to the average total cost. Assume that there is no fixed cost. A. If the monopolist practice single pricing, determine the price, quantity, profit, consumer surplus and producer surplus in this market with the aid of a suitable diagram. Appraise the efficiency in this market. B. If the monopolist were to practice perfect price discrimination, determine the quantity, profit, consumer surplus and producer surplus of the monopolist. Appraise the efficiency in this market. C. Consumers and the society are always worse off in a monopolised market compared to a perfectly competitive market. Do you agree? Examine the two (2) market structures and explain with the help of a suitable market diagram.
A monopolist has a demand for its product that is P = A + BQ . It has no fixed costs. Marginal cost is constant at MC = C. Find the profit-maximizing quantity Q to produce and find the profit maximizing price P.P = A + BQP= 315 + -8QMC=CMC= 75
A. Calculate the Price and Quantity if the Monopolist Maximized their profit and sells in both markets? B. Calculate the Profit if he Monopolist Maximized their profit and sells in both markets? C. In the absence of 3rd Degree Price Discrimination and the firm must sell at the same price in both markets, what is the price, quantity and total profit
XYZ company uses a technology for producing its good. This enables the firm to meet the entire market demand at a lower price than its two competitors. What factor makes XYZ company a monopolist? a. increasing average total costs. b. a legal barrier to entry. c. Knowledge of exclusive production techniques d. All of these
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?
Consider a market with the following characteristics. There is a single monopolist whose technology exhibits constant marginal costs; i.e., The market demand curve exhibits constant elasticity, e. There is an ad valorem tax on the price of the good sold so that when the consumer pays a pricePD, the monopolist receives a price of Ps = (1 - T)PD. (HerePDis the demand price facing the consumer andPsis the supply price facing the producer.) . The taxing authority is considering changing the ad valorem tax to a tax on output, t, so that we will havePDPs+ t. You have been hired to calculate the output tax t that is equivalent to the ad valorem tax T in the sense that the final price facing the consumer is the same under either scheme.
Part A Suppose that the monopolist can produce a good with total cost TC = 24Q. Assume also that hemonopolist sells its goods in two different markets separated by some distance. The demand curves inthe first market and the second market are given by Q1 = 120 - P1/2 and Q2 = 360 - 3P2. If themonopolist can maintain the separation between the two markets, what level of output should beproduced in each market, and what price will prevail in cach market? Why are the two prices different?Verify the Lemer Index for cach market. Part B Suppose a monopoly faces a demand curve by Q = 154 - P/3. The monopolist has two plants. The firsthas a total cost function given by TC1, = 3Q21 and the second plant's total cost function is given byTC2 = 2Q22 How much total output will the monopoly choose to produce and how will it distributethis production between its two factories in order to maximize profits? Find monopolist's profits.
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?
A monopolist has constant marginal cost equal to 30 and faces a market demand curve given by the following p 100-2Q. If the monopolist is a perfect price discrimination monopolist its level of profit will be equal to (assume there is no fixed cost) A. 1225 B. 2450 C. 2275..... D. 1150
