Part b) A profit-maximizing monopoly will produce an output level of a) Q3. b) Q4. c) Q2. d) Q1. Part c) A profit-maximizing monopoly will charge a price of Question 22 options: a) P2. b) P4. c) P1. d) P3.A monopoly firm maximizes its profit by producing Q = 500 units of output. At that level of output, its marginal revenue is $40, its average revenue is $80, and its average total cost is $44. At Q = 500, the firm's marginal cost is a. less than $40 b. $40 c. $44 d. greater than $44CHP is a monopoly manufactorer who faces tbge following demand curve for its product in two different country: United States ( US) and New Zealand (NZ). US = Q(us) = 200 - P(us) and new zealand: Q(nz) = 150 - 1/2 P(nz). in which Q denotes quantity and p denotes prices. the firm also faces cost function of c(Q) = 0.25 (Qus + Qnz)^2. Find the prices, pUS and pNZ, which maximise CHP profits, assuming no capacity constraints.
- a monopoly faces the marginal cost schedule MC=1.1+0.01q and can price discriminate between two markets where p1=10-0.1q1 , p2=6-0.04q2 how much should it sell in each market to maximize profit, and at what prices?Consider a market with a monopoly firm. Sales revenue of this firm is $15,960,000 total cost is $8,680,000 and average cost is $3.10 Another firm wants to enter the market and provide the same product at a lower price. To intimidate the potential competitor, the monopoly firm intends to use predatory pricing.By how much can this firm reduce the price of its product without losses? Enter your answer in the box below and round to two decimal places if necessary.Yongling is a monopoly seller of a good in a town. She has a fixed supply of 8 units and no other costs. The market demand curve for the product is P = 20–q. What is her profit if she sells to all her clients at the same price? Group of answer choices $24 $36 $72 $48 $96
- Scenario 15-3 A monopoly firm maximizes its profit by producing Q = 500 units of output. At that level of output, its marginal revenue is $30, its average revenue is $60, and its average total cost is $34. 28. Refer to Scenario 15-3. At Q = 500, the firm's marginal cost is a. less than $30. b. $30. c. $34. d. greater than $34.A monopoly firm maximizes its profit by producing Q = 500 units of output. At that level of output, its marginal revenue is $40, its average revenue is $80, and its average total cost is $44. Refer to Scenario 15-1. At Q = 500, the firm's total revenue is a. $40,000. b. $22,000. c. $2,000. d. $20,000.A risk-neutral monopoly must set output before it knows the market price. There is a 50 percent chance the firm's demand curve will be P = 40 − Q and a 50 percent chance it will be P = 60 − Q. The marginal cost of the firm is MC = 3Q. The expected profit-maximizing quantity is Multiple Choice 5. 10. 50. 25.
- Assume a monopoly has two groups of customers, and each group of customers has different demand for the firm's product. Group A's demand is: Pa = 90 - .1qa where qa is group A's quantity demanded and Pa is the commodity's price in dollars for group A customers. Group B's demand is: Pb = 170 - .2qb where qb is group B's quantity demanded and Pb is the commodity's price in dollars for group B customers. The firm's total cost curve is: TC = 30,000 + .05q2 where TC is the firm's total cost in dollars and q is the total quantity of output produced by the firm. Based upon the above equations, answer the following questions: a. What quantity of the commodity would the firm sell to customers in group B? What price would the firm establish for customers in group B? b. What quantity of the commodity would the firm sell to customers in group A? What price would the firm establish for customers in group A?Question 1A manager of a nightclub 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 demand for his customer types: Under 25: q^r=18-5pOver 25: q=10-2p The two age groups visit the nightclub in equal numbers on average. Assume that drinks cost the club $2 to make. 1. If the manager cannot identify to which group his customers belong, what is the uniform monopoly price? 2. If the manager can identify to which group his customers belong, what price will he charge each group. Assume the manager can only charge a single price to each group 3. If the manager can charge a separate entry fee and a price per drink for each group, what two-part price will the manager set for reach group. 4. Now suppose that once again it is impossible to identify which group the customers belong. Suppose the manager lowers the price of drinks to equal to marginal cost and still wanted to…A natural monopoly arises when the firm’s technology has economies of scale large enough for it to supply some of the market at a lower average total production cost than is possible with more than one firm in the market.
