- 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 MonolpolyAjax Cleaning Products is a medium-sized firm operating in an industry dominated by one large firm—Tile King. Ajax produces a multiheaded tunnel wall scrubber that is similar to a model produced by Tile King. Ajax decides to charge the same price as Tile King to avoid the possibility of a price war. The pnce charged by Tile King is $20,000. Ajax has the following short-run cost curve: TC=800,0005,000Q+100Q2 Compute the marginal cost curve for Ajax. Given Ajaxs pricing strategy, what is the marginal venue function for Ajax? Compute the profit-maximizing level of output for Ajax. Compute Ajaxs total dollar profits.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.
- The cost function for producing ethanol from municipal waste (wastehol) is 1000+10q2where q is in millions/gallons per year. The demand for wastehol is currently perfectly inelastic at 5 million gallons per year. Assume that producers of wastehol are perfectly competitive. California is deciding whether to convert all wastehol producers into a regulated wastehol utility. If wastehol is a regulated monopoly utility with the cost function above, what price would regulators set as the price of wastehol? Now assume that the wasteahol market has boomed and demand has grown to 20 (again million gallons per year). Now what is the regulated price of wastehol? You are the wastehol producer and are trying to decide whther to lobby for deregulating the wastehol industry. If wastehol were deregulated, if demand remains 20, what would the perfectly competitive price be? If you are a wastehol customer, you would prefer a deregulated industry if demand were 20? True/False?Discuss in detail the equilibrium of a firm under monopoly.Q. 3. What do you mean by simple linear regression line. Estimate, Y , given thefollowing data:-Demand 3 4 5 6 7 9 8 10 12 14Price 16 13 10 7 7 5 4 3 4 2You are the manager of a monopoly, and your analysts have estimated your demand and cost functionsas P = 300 − 3Q and C(Q) = 2, 000 + 2Q2, respectively.(a) What price-quantity combination maximizes your firm’s profits?(b) Calculate the maximum profits.(c) Is demand elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic at the profit maximizing price-quantity combination?(d) What price-quantity combination maximizes revenue?(e) Calculate the maximum revenues.(f) Is demand elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic at the revenue maximizing price-quantity combination?
- True/False 1. In a principal-agent relationship between owner and manager with hidden e§ort, the owner can design a wage scheme that insures the optimal Örst best e§ort by the manager regardless of the risk aversion of the manager. Justify your answer. 2. Consider a monopoly that faces an inverse demand curve and has a linear cost function. The monopoly would be indi§erent when maximizing proÖts between either choosing quantities or choosing prices. 3. A multiproduct Örm that as monopoly power over several products sets lower prices than separate Örms (each controlling a single product) when the products are substitutes or when there are economies of scope. 4. In the dominant Örm model (‡ la Hotelling) an increase in the marginal cost of the dominant Örm (with constant marginal costs) implies that proÖts necessarily decrease. 5. Suppose that an industry has 10 Örms where the market shares are ordered from the most to the least dominant Örm f0:5; 0:37; 0:05; 0:03; 0:02; 0:01;…Suppose a monopoly market has a demand function in whichquantity demanded depends not only on market price (P) butalso on the amount of advertising the firm does (A, measuredin dollars). The specific form of this function isQ =(20 - P2) (1 + 0.1A - 0.01A2).The monopolistic firm’s cost function is given byC = 10Q + 15 + A.a. Suppose there is no advertising (A = 0). What outputwill the profit-maximizing firm choose? What market price will this yield? What will be the monopoly’sprofits?b. Now let the firm also choose its optimal level of advertising expenditure. In this situation, what output levelwill be chosen? What price will this yield? What will thelevel of advertising be? What are the firm’s profits in thiscase? Hint: This can be worked out most easily by assuming the monopoly chooses the profit-maximizing pricerather than quantity.7. Under patent protection, a firm has a monopoly in the production of a high-techcomponent. Market demand is estimated to be P = 100 – 0.2Q. The firm’s economiccosts are given by AC = MC = €60 per component.a) Determine the firm’s output, price and profit.b) After the firm’s patent expires, and assuming that there is no other barrier to entry, predictthe new market output, price and individual economic profit.c) Compute the change in consumer surplus resulting from the chasing patent protection.Calculate the net welfare gain after the patent’s expiration. Assume that competingsuppliers have the same economic costs as the original producer.
- A drug company introduces a drug which is protected by a patent. Therefore,it is a monopoly in that specific market. Suppose that inverse demand for the drug isgiven by P(y) = 100 − y/2. And cost function is C(y) = y2 + 10y + 100.a. What is the profit maximizing output and price?b. Calculate the profit, consumer’s surplus, producer’s surplus and thedeadweight loss.Suppose that the patent expires and the market becomes perfectly competitive.c. Find the profit maximizing output and price. And compare your answer with(a).d. Calculate the profit, consumer’s surplus, producer’s surplus and thedeadweight loss. And compare your answer with (b).Draw the demand curve, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves from Figure : , and identify the quantity of output the monopoly wishes to supply and the price it will charge. Suppose the demand for the monopoly’s product increases dramatically. Draw the new demand curve. 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. What do you think about the result? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.
