Suppose a firm has a cost curve equal to Cost = 800 + 15q. 800 Marginal Cost = 15, and the Average Cost = + 15. The inverse demand curve is p = 400 - 4q. So Marginal Revenue = 400 - 8q. If regulators set the price equal to the marginal cost, what would be the firm's loss? S (round your answer and any intermediate calculations to two decimal places). If the regulators set the price equal to the average cost, what would be the price? S (round your answer and any intermediate calculations to two decimal places). What would be the deadweight loss in this case of average cost price regulation? $ (round your answer and any intermediate calculations to two decimal places).

A company can successfully charge different prices in country A and B. Marginal cost is $10. Demands in country A and B are Q=20.5-P and Q=5-P respectively. What are the profit- maximising prices in two countries? What quantity do they sell in two countries? The company now added country C, and its demand is Q=20.5-P. What maximising prices do they charge in three countries? What quantity do they charge in three countries?

(Market Power) just answer question 4e. Thank you, Bartleby! In a monopoly market, the demand function is Q = 200 - P/2, while the total cost function is C = 285 + 20Q. 4a. Calculate the balance of P, Q, and Profit. 4b. Calculate the market power (Lerner Index) of the company. Thank you for the help Bartleby Suppose the demand function changes to Q = 200 - P/3. Assuming the total cost function does not change. 4c. Calculate the new P, Q and Profit balance. 4d. Calculate the new market power (Lerner Index). 4e. Compare the two conditions, what can you say about the condition of the market power if there is a change in demand?

Please note: Parts a, b, and c are already answered. Please answer part d which has two subparts. You are the manager of a monopoly with costs, demand, and marginal revenue as in the graph at the top of Figure 1 attached. d. Suppose economic conditions change in such a way that the demand curve for your company shifts left.i. Draw a demand curve on the bottom graph on Figure 1 that leads to zero economic profits.ii. Draw a demand curve on the bottom graph on Figure 1 such that any further leftward demand shift will cause you to shutdown.
Under patent protection, a firm has a monopoly in its production. Market demand is estimated to be P = 400 – 0.2Q. The firm’s economic costs are given by ATC = MC = $80 per unit. After the firm’s patent expires, predict the new market output and price under perfect competition. Assume that competing suppliers have the same economic costs as the original producer. What is the new market price, quantity, and total industry profit?
The demand and total cost functions for a monopoly firm are: Q(P) = 39.5 – 0.5P TC(Q) = 60 – Q + 0.5 Q2 What are the profit maximising QM and PM for this firm? What is the firm’s profit πM?
