Assume a single-price monopolist has an inverse market demand curve given by P(Q)=300-0.5Q, and has a cost curve: C(Q)=125+20Q+0.5Q2. We already know that Monopolist will provide 140 units, Economic profit is 19475, and Economic Rent is 190. If the impact of a 35% ad valorem tax imposed on the consumers in the market.

Q1. Consider a monopolist which produces two different products, each having the following demand functions: 91 = 14 — —P1, 92 ₂ = 24 - 2₂2₁ where 9₁ and 92 represent the output levels of product 1 and product 2 and p₁ and p₂ represent their prices. The monopolist's joint cost function is given as C (91, 92) = 9+59192 +92/2. (b) State the first-order conditions for profit maximization. Find the production levels, 9₁ and 92, and the monopoly prices, p₁ and p2, that satisfy the conditions.
Mighty Cleaners, Inc, is a monopolist in the specialised cleaning industry. Its cost is C = 220 - 4Q + Q2 and demand is P = 180 - 3Q, where Q is the number of hours of cleaning they provide and P is the price per hour of cleaning they charge. Find the optimal price P and output Q. What would be its profit? Please round your final answers to two decimal places, if necessary. For example, type in 12.5 for quantity, 2.34 for price and 300.78 for profit. • the optimal output (the number of hours of cleaning) is 45 hours. • the optimal price is $ 45 • the profit is 0
A company operates two plants which manufacture the same item and whose total cost functions are C₁ = 5.1 +0.04(q₁)² and C₂ = 7.4 + 0.02(92)², where q1 and 2 are the quantities produced by each plant. The company is a monopoly. The total quantity demanded, q = 91 + 92, is related to the price, p, by p = 40 -0.02q. How much should each plant produce in order to maximize the company's profit?¹ 91 = i 92 = i
Suppose that the monopolist from Question 4 is now forced to charge the same price in both markets. Using thedemand functions and cost function from Question 4, what is the total inverse demand in this case? What is theprofit-maximizing price? What is the monopolist’s profit? (Question 4 = A monopolist is operating in two separate markets. The inverse demand functions for the two markets are P1 = 35 – 2.5Q_1 and P2 = 30 – 2Q_2. The monopolist’s total cost function is TC(Q) = 8 + 5(Q_1 + Q_2). Q_1 means Q subscript 1

(Q: 12-2508858] A single-price monopolist faces an inverse demand function of: P(Q,B) = 100-Q+B0.5, where Q is the quantity, P is the price, and B is the level of advertising. The marginal cost is a constant $10 per unit, the cost per unit of advertising is $1, and there are no fixed costs. Solve for the firm's profit-maximizing price, quantity, and level of advertising. Hint: the profit function must be maximized with respect to two choice variables (Q and B). The profit-maximizing quantity is units. (round your answer to two decimal places) The profit-maximizing level of advertising is units. (round your answer to two decimal places) The profit-maximizing price is $.

Suppose a discriminating monopolist is selling a product in four separate markets in which demand functions are: Q1 = 450 – P1; Q2 = 200 – 0.5 P2; Q3 = 150 – 0.25P3 and Q4 = 80 – 0.4P4 Cost function is TC = 95,000 – 100Q. a. As an economic adviser, determine the Prices to be charged in the three markets and amount of output to be sold in each market so that total profits can be maximized. b.Calculate the total profit to be made from the strategy of price discrimination and clearly explain how this strategy has aided this monopolist.
