Solve for the question below, using the following given in Qº=450-P TC-150g +1000 MC = 29-150 (a) Solve for your inverse market demand curve, or P(Q) where P=a-bQ (b) Solve for your monopoly (total) revenue equation, TR where TR P-Q. Plug your inverse market demand curve into P for TR. You will have an equation instead of a number. (c) Using TR, solve for your monopoly marginal revenue equation, or MR where MR=220. (d) Set your MR equal to MC and solve for your (single plant) monopoly quantity, or Q.

Inverse elasticity rule Use the first-order condition (Equation 15.2 ) for a Cournot firm to show that the usual inverse elasticity rule from Chapter 11 holds under Cournot competition (where the elasticity is associated with an individual firm's residual demand, the demand left after all rivals sell their output on the market). Manipulate Equation 15.2 in a different way to obtain an equivalent version of the inverse elasticity rule: pMCp=sieQ,p , where si=qi/Q is firm i's market share and eQp is the elasticity of market demand. Compare this version of the inverse elasticity rule with that for a monopolist from the previous chapter.
ALCOA does not have the monopoly power it once had. How do you suppose their barriers to entry were weakened?
Draw the demand curve, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves from Figure 9.6, and identify the quantity of output the monopoly wishes to supply and the price it will charge. Suppose demand for the monopolys product increases dramatically. Draw the new demand me. What happens to the marginal revenue as a result of the increase in demand? What happens to the marginal cost curve? Identify the new profit-maximizing quantity and price. Does the answer make sense to you? Figure 9.6 Illustrating Profits at the HealthPill Monolpoly
