Suppose that a monopolist producing bicycles can divide the aggregate demand into two groups: The domestic market and the foreign market. The demand curve for the monopolist’s product in the domestic market is y1=1200-10p1 and the demand curve for the monopolist’s product in the foreign market is y2=800-10p2. The monopolist’s total cost function is given by C(y)= 50y where y=y1+y2. a)Assume that the monopolist does not practice price discrimination. Calculate his/her profit-maximizing price-quantity combination and the maximum profit. b) Assume that the monopolist practices third-degree price discrimination. Calculate his/her profit-maximizing price-quantity combination and the maximum profit in each market.
Suppose a monopolist faces two markets with demand curves given by D1(p1) = 200 -p1 D2(p2) = 100 -2p2 Assume that the monopolist’s cost function is c(y) = y^2 1. What is the optimal prices for the monopolist if it can charge different prices in these markets? 2. What is the optimal price if the monopolist must charge the same price in each market? 3. How much total consumers’ surplus changes between the two separate prices and the same price cases? This is my fourth submission. no part of any previous solution was remotely right. I need this answered quickly. Yall have spent several days getting this wrong.
A monopolist originally charges one price when producing output for consumers with a market demand function P(Q) = 86 – Q. Their total cost function is TC(Q) = 7,500 + 8Q, where MC is constant and equal to $8. Part (a): When the firm behaves as a single-price monopolist, what is the equilibrium market price and market output level? Suddenly, the firm discovers that there are actually two groups of consumers in the market. The first group demands the product according to P (q1) = 98 – 1, while the second group's willingness to pay can be summarized as P(q2) = 62 – 92, where q1 + q2 %3D Part (b): How much output is sold to each group and what price is charged to each group of consumers?
Suppose a monopolist faces two markets with demand curves given by D1(p1) = 200 -p1 D2(p2) = 100 -2p2 Assume that the monopolist’s cost function is c(y) = y^2 1. What is the optimal prices for the monopolist if it can charge different prices in these markets? 2. What is the optimal price if the monopolist must charge the same price in each market? 3. How much total consumers’ surplus changes between the two separate prices and the same price cases? Can I please be assigned an actual expert? The previous four answers have been incorrect. The last several questions I have asked have been plagued by mediocrity and poor answers.

How much total consumers’ surplus changes between the two separate prices and the same price cases? Please answer this correctly, quickly,and legibly. This is my third submission of the same question. The first one was wrong and unredeemable the second one was not legible.

Consider a price discriminating monopolist facing two markets for its good. The demand equations faced by the monopolist and its cost function are:Market 1: Q1 = 55 – P1Market 2: Q2 = 70 – 2P2Cost Function: TC(Q) = 100 + 5Q, where Q = Q1 + Q2 a. If the monopolist can maintain the separation between the two markets, calculate the optimal output level that the firm should produce for each market to maximize profits.b. Determine the prices the monopoly should charge in each market, and calculate the profit of the monopoly.c. Construct a graph to represent your findings in item a and bd. If the monopolist cannot maintain the separation between the two markets, calculate the optimal output level and determine the price will this be sold?
Suppose that a monopolist, who sells all units at a uniform price, faces an inverse market demand curve P=100- 2Q. a) If there is no cost of production, what output would the firm produce to maximize profit, what price would the firm charge, and what profit would the firm earn? Give the numerical value of these three variables, showing how you determined them. b) If the firm’s total cost were instead positive, given by the function TC=10Q, what output would the firm produce to maximize profit, what price would the firm charge, and what profit would the firm earn? Give the numerical value of these three variables, showing how you determined them.
A monopolist faces two markets (think of it as a domestic market and a foreign market). The demand functions of the two markets are respectively: Q 1 =100 - P 1 ; Q 2 =180 - P 2 The cost function of the monopoly firm is: TC = 40Q. Q1: If this firm charges a uniform price, what price should maximize its profit? What is the total profit? Q2: If this firm charges a Third Degree Price Discrimination, what is the equilibrium price for each market in order to maximize profits? And what is the profit of each market and the total profit?
A monopolist has a cost function c(q) = 5q+800 and faces aggregate demand q=3000 - 120p. Suppose first that monopolist sells q=400 units. The monopolist's revenue would be The monopolist profit would be The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand would be The consumer surplus would be Now suppose that the monopolist chooses q to maximize its profit. The monopolist's revenue would be The monopolist profit would be The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand would be The consumer surplus would be
Consider the case of a monopolist who charges the same price to all consumers. The demand for the good is given by Q=813-7p, where Q denotes the quantity demanded at price p. The firm's total cost of producing Q units is given by the function C(Q) = 7 Q What is the profit maximizing price for this monopolist? (As usual, you must enter a number below, not a ratio, not an expression with symbols..., just a number.)
For Questions 2 and 3, consider the following scenario. A monopolist has customers in two market segments, "A" and "B," which respectively have demand given by the linear inverse functions P(q) = 65-q and PB(q) = 45 - q. Costs of production for the firm are C(q) = 5q + 1,000 (i.e., constant marginal costs of $5 per unit produced and Fixed Costs of $1,000). If the seller must treat these two segments as one single market, he will set a price of p = 30; customers in Segment A will buy 35 units and customers in Segment B will buy 15 units. This price results in profit of $250. 2. 3. If the monopolist is able to engage in 3rd Degree Price Discrimination, then (in comparison to the "single market" outcome described above), A. B. C. D. If the monopolist is able to engage in 3rd Degree Price Discrimination, then he can earn a profit of A. $300 ABCD B.
