A monopolist has discovered that the inverse demand function of a person with income M for the monopolists product is p = 2M −q. The monopolist has a total cost function, c(q) = 100q. The monopolist is able to observe the incomes of its consumers and to practice price discrimination according to income (second-degree price discrimination). (a) Draw the demand function of consumers with income ML and those with income MH, with ML < MH. [20%]
(b) Determine the price which consumers pay. [35%]
(c) Now assume that legislation comes into effect that stops the monopolist from charging different prices for individuals with different incomes. Suppose half of the individuals have income ML and the other half have income MH. Determine the price that the monopolist charges. Who benefits from the legislation? [45%]

A monopolist’s inverse demand is P=500-2Q, the total cost function is TC=50Q2 + 1000Q and Marginal cost is MC=100Q+100, where Q is thousands of units. a). what price would the monopolist charge to maximize profits and how many units will the monopolist sell? (hint, recall that the slope of the MARGINAL Revenue is twice as steep as the inverse demand curve. b). at the profit-maximizing price, how much profit would the monopolist earn? c). find consumer surplus and Producer surplus...
