Draw a monopolists demand curve, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves. Identify the monopolists profit-maximizing output level. Now, think about a slightly higher level of output (sayQ0+1). According to the graph, is there any consumer willing to pay more than the marginal cost of that new level of output? If so, what does this mean?
How can a monopolist identify the profit-maximizing level of output if it knows its total revenue and total cost curves?
A market analysis employed by the “Sad Student Company” reveals that the number oflots of the game named “Handsome Killer: Revenge of the Teacher” ordered by thewholesalers when the game is offered at a price of dollars per lot is given by the formula:p=1500-2.5qa) Find the company’s total, marginal and average revenues b) Find the price and quantity maximizing the total revenue by first expressing therevenue as a function of price rather than of quantity
Consider a monopolist with demand ?? = 90 − 3? and marginal cost MC=20. Determine profit, consumer surplus, and welfare in the following cases: (a) single-price monopolist; (b) perfect price discrimination; (c) intertemporal price discrimination whereby in period 1 the monopolist sets price ?1 and whoever buys leaves the market, then in period 2 the monopolist sets price ?2 for whoever remains in the market
Q1: Calculate MR and MC function Q2: Calculate output, price and economic profits earned by the company as a monopolist. Q3: Calculate the range which a long-run equllibrium price/output combination would be found for individual firms if entry eliminated Gray's economic profit Q4: Assume the price point elasticity of demand calculated in Q2 is a good estimate of the relevant arc price elasticity. What is the potential overall market size for super computers? Q5: Should your company enter the market for supercomputers? Short explain
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. What is the equilibrium price and quantity of books sold by the monopolist in country 1?Options are: a)p=1, q=16b) p=1 q=12c) p=4, q=8d)p=6, q=6Continuing to assume price discrimination, what is the equilibrium price and quantity of books sold by the monopolist in country 2?a)p= 4,q=14b)p= 6,q=12c)p= 8,q=10d)p= 10,q=8If book imports are permitted in both countries so that price discrimination is impossible, what is the equilibrium price and quantity sold in the two countries combined?a)p=6,q=20b)p=7,q=20c)p=10,q=8d)p=12,q=6
Marginal Analysis II Question 3 Assume that a monopolist faces a demand curve for its product given by: p=100−1qp=100-1q Further assume that the firm's cost function is: TC=470+9qTC=470+9q Using calculus and formulas (don't just build a table in a spreadsheet as in the previous lesson) to find a solution, what is the profit (rounded to the nearest integer) for the firm at the optimal price and quantity? Round the optimal quantity to the nearest hundredth before computing the optimal price, which you should then round to the nearest cent. Note: Non-integer quantities may make sense when each unit of q represents a bundle of many individual items. Hint 1: Define a formula for Total Revenue using the demand curve equation. Then take the derivative of the Total Revenue and Total Cost formulas to compute the Marginal Revenue and Marginal Cost formulas, respectively. Use these Marginal Revenue and Marginal Cost formulas to perform a marginal analysis. Hint 2: When computing the total…
Q15 Assume that Bandai Namco is a monopolist that can sell 10 units of toy output at $5 per unit and 11 units at $4.80 per unit. For Bandai Namco to profitably produce and sell the eleventh unit of output, its marginal cost must be anywhere at or below Multiple Choice $36. $3.20. $5. $2.80. $4.80.
Please no written by hand solutions 1. Assume the cost function for a monopolist is given by TC(q) = 30Q; the inverse demand function for the firms' output is p = 120 - Q, where Q is the total output. a. Find the profit-maximizing combination of price and quantity b. Estimate consumer surplus, producer surplus and the deadweight loss associated with this monopolist C. If this industry became perfectly competitive, explain and estimate the consumer surplus, producer surplus and deadweight loss of the industry d. Graph your answers for a, b, and c 2. Now assume that the monopolist above splits into two. Each of two firms has the cost function TC(q) = 30q. a. What are the firms' outputs in a Nash equilibrium of Cournot's model? b. Estimate the economic profits for each firm c. If firm 1 is the leader and firm 2 the follower, find the equilibrium outputs for the Stackelberg solution.
The LED Toy Company has a hot new toy called Dabbdo that it sells in two markets. On the cost side the firm has fixed costs of $150,000 dollars monthly. In addition, its variable costs are MC = AVC = $25 per toy. Assume that the LED Toy Company can engage in third-degree price discrimination and its goal is to maximize its profits. The monthly demand in Market 1 where P1 is price in dollars is: P1 = 55 - Q1, where Q1 is the quantity in thousands of the toy sold in market 1 monthly. The monthly demand in Market 2 where P2 is price in dollars is: P2 = 35 - 0.5Q2 where Q2 is the quantity in thousands of the toy sold in market 2 monthly (a) How many toys will be bought and sold in each market monthly? ANSWERS: In Market 1: ___________ thousand ; Market 2: ___________ thousand (b) What price will be charged in each market? ANSWERS: Price in market 1: ________ ; Price in market 2: _________ (c) And what LED's monthly profits be?
