4.
6) Assume the definition of deductible elasticity that gives non-negative figures for normal demand. A monopoly that maximizes profit adapts so that the deductible elasticity is 2 and the price is NOK 500.What must then be the marginal costs of the monopoly? (Answers in whole kroner.)Fill in your answer here:NOK.
Problem 08-10 (algo)
The manager of a local monopoly estimates that the elasticity of demand for its product is constant and equal to -2. The firm's
marginal cost is constant at $25 per unit.
a. Express the firm's marginal revenue as a function of its price.
Instructions: Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.
MR =
x P
b. Determine the profit-maximizing price.
Instructions: Use the rounded value calculated above and round your response to two decimal places.

- Price 7. Monopoly and Price Elasticity Consider the relationship between monopoly pricing and the price elasticity of demand. If demand is inelastic, total revenue would increase when a monopolist a monopolist will its price. As a result, total cost would produce a quantity at which the demand curve is inelastic. .Therefore, Use the purple segment (diamond symbols) to indicate the portion of the demand curve that is inelastic. (Hint: The answer is related to the marginal- revenue (MR) curve.) Then use the black point (plus symbol) to show the quantity and price that maximizes total revenue (TR). - -2 10 Demand 4 Marginal Revenue 7 Quantity Inaltic Demand + Max TRarrow_forwardIn a monopoly type market; the current price is $100.00, the quantity is 10,000, the tax on economic profits 4% of economic profits, the price elasticity of demand (constant) is -2.5, and MC is $60.
