How can a monopolist identify the profit-maximizing level of output if it knows its total revenue and total cost curves?
Ajax Cleaning Products is a medium-sized firm operating in an industry dominated by one large firmâ€”Tile King. Ajax produces a multiheaded tunnel wall scrubber that is similar to a model produced by Tile King. Ajax decides to charge the same price as Tile King to avoid the possibility of a price war. The pnce charged by Tile King is $20,000. Ajax has the following short-run cost curve: TC=800,0005,000Q+100Q2 Compute the marginal cost curve for Ajax. Given Ajaxs pricing strategy, what is the marginal venue function for Ajax? Compute the profit-maximizing level of output for Ajax. Compute Ajaxs total dollar profits.
Is a monopolist allocatively efficient? Why or why not?
Are the following statements true or false? (D). A monopoly earns total revenue of $5000 when it sells 500 units of output and totalrevenue of $5400 when it sells 600 units of output. Thus, the marginal revenue of the600th unit is $9.(E). We call a market where there is only one buyer for a good or service a monopoly.(F). There are a few firms selling differentiated products in a monopolistically competitiveindustry.(G). When a demand curve is a downward sloping straight line, the slope of the marginalrevenue curve is twice as steep as the demand curve.
3.- (From problem 5.3 in the textbook) A nightclub manager realizes that demand for drinks is more elastic among students, and is trying to determine the optimal pricing schedule. Specifically, he estimates the following average demands: • Under 25: qr = 18 − 5p • Over 25: q = 10 − 2p The two age groups visit the nightclub in equal numbers on average. Assume that drinks cost the nightclub $2 each. (a) If the market cannot be segmented, what is the uniform monopoly price? (b) If the nightclub can charge according to whether or not the customer is a student but is limited to linear pricing, what price (per drink) will be set for each group? (c) If the nightclub cannot charge according to whether the customer is a student or not, but can set a (common) cover charge and a (common) price per drink (which we assume equal to $2), what two-part tariff will it choose? (d) If the nightclub can set a separate cover charge and price per drink for each group, what two-part pricing schemes will it…
Consider a monopoly operating in two markets, TC(q) = 10q, q1=50 - p1, q2=30 - p2 3.1 Determine the prices, quantities and profit under linear pricing (hint: does the monopoly sell to both segments or only to one, and if so which one) 3.2 Determine the prices, quantities and profits for a 3rd degree discrimination 3.3 Assume that the monopoly is able to identify both types of customers. Determine the equilibrium profit for binomial pricing, Ti(qi) = Ai + pqi
True or False: (D). A monopoly earns total revenue of $5000 when it sells 500 units of output and total revenue of $5400 when it sells 600 units of output. Thus, the marginal revenue of the 600th unit is $9. (E). We call a market where there is only one buyer for a good or service a monopoly. (F). There are a few firms selling differentiated products in a monopolistically competitive industry. (G). When a demand curve is a downward sloping straight line, the slope of the marginal revenue curve is twice as steep as the demand curve.
Multichoice company broadcasts to subscribers in Lusaka and Solwezi. The demand for each ofthese two groups are Qsz= 50 - (1/3) Ps and QUSK= 80 - (2/3) Pusk, where Q is in thousands ofsubscriptions per year and P is the subscription price per year. The cost of providing Q units.ofservice is given by C (Q) = 1000 + 30Q, where Q = Qsz + QusK. Assuming Multichoice is aMonopoly and can engage in third-price discrimination, then1. What is the profit-maximizing price and quantity in Solwezi Market?2. What is the profit-maximizing price and quantity in Lusaka Market?3. Suppose the Monopoly can only charge a single. What price should it charge and what isthe total quantity sold?
There are two potential suppliers i=1,2 in a market. The cost of production are given by: C(q) =a +8. P(Q)=10-Q, with Q.9,. If both firms are present in the market, there is Cournot competition. a) Derive the equilibrium profits if both firms are active in the market. Is there a natural monopoly? There is a discussion to found a new regulatory agency. b) Suppose that the agency can only regulate the price. What price level should be regulated to maximize total welfare (ideal price regulation) assuming that one firm is active. c) What would the welfare optimal regulation of the agency be if it has to ensure that any regulated firm that is supposed to be active in the market makes non-negative

Profit maximization and loss minimization BYOB is a monopolist in beer production and distribution in the imaginary economy of Hopsville. Suppose that BYOB cannot price discriminate; that is, it sells its beer at the same price per can to all customers. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MCMC), marginal revenue (MRMR), average total cost (ATCATC), and demand (DD) for beer in this market. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for BYOB. If BYOB is making a profit, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. On the other hand, if BYOB is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing its loss. (Graph 1) Suppose that BYOB charges $2.00 per can. Your friend Felix says that since BYOB is a monopoly with market power, it should charge a higher price of $2.25 per can because this will increase BYOB's profit.…
