Consider a monopolistic firm selling the same product in two completely separate markets (market 1 and market 2) with the following demand schedules (BTW: assume that the numbers given are based continuous linear demand curves in each market): Quantity (Q1) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Price (P1) 24 21 18 15 12 9 6 3 0 Quantity (Q2) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Price (P2) 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 The marginal cost of this firm is equal to its average total cost and is constant at $15 per unit produced (note that this also means that there are no fixed costs). Based on this information use excel to calculate marginal revenues and set up diagrams that show the demand and the marginal revenue curves of this firm in each market, as well as the quantities and prices it should charge in these markets in order to maximize overall profits. (BTW: As you set up your diagrams, remember that marginal values should be placed in the middle of the range over which the marginal value is calculated).
A monopolistic company has to spend exactly $3000 as total cost for the production of a number of Basic Science and Mathematics textbooks for three schools. The Basic Science textbook sells at P1 = 455 – Q1 – Q2 and the Mathematics textbook at P2 = 910 – Q1 – 4Q2 where P1 and P2 denote the prices; Q1 and Q2 denote the number of Basic science and mathematics textbooks produced respectively. The joint cost of producing these textbooks is given as TC = 5Q1 + 10Q2(i) Find the maximum profit the producer can make(ii) Estimate the new profit if the company decides to reduce the total costby $50 (Assume that 2nd order conditions are satisfied) Question 2A monopolistic producer of two goods, G1 and G2, has a joint total cost function as ?? = 10?1 + 4?1?2 + 5?2Where Q1 and Q2 denote the quantities of G1 and G2 respective. If P1 and P2denote corresponding prices then the demand equations are P1 =50–1.5Q1 +Q2P2 =52.5+Q1 –1.5Q2(a) Find the total revenue function for the monopolist(b) Find the…
