7. Monopoly and Price Elasticity Consider the relationship between monopoly pricing and the price elasticity of demand. If demand is inelastic and a monopolist raises its price, total revenue would and total cost would Therefore, a monopolist will produce a quantity at which the demand curve is inelastic. 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). 10 Demand 9 8 Inelastic Demand 7 6 Max TR 3 2 1 -1 -2 Marginal Revenue -3 -4 -5 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10 Quantity

Problem 11-04 (algo) ou are the manager of a monopoly that sells a product to two groups of consumers in different parts of the country. Analysts at your irm have determined that group 1's elasticity of demand is -5, while group 2's is -2. Your marginal cost of producing the product is 630 a. Determine your optimal markups and prices under third-degree price discrimination. Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places. Markup for group 1: Price for group 1: $ Markup for group 2: Price for group 2 $ b. Which of the following are necessary conditions for third-degree price discrimination to enhance profits. Instructions: In order to receive full credit, you must make a selection for each option. For correct answer(s), click the box once to place a check mark. For incorrect answer(s), click twice to empty the box. ?At least one group has elasticity of demand greater than 1 in absolute value. ?At least one group has elasticity of demand less than one in absolute value.…
