Let the market demand for widgets be described by Q = 1000 − 50P. Suppose further that widgets can be produced at a constant average and marginal cost of $10 per unit. a. Calculate the market output and price under perfect competition and under monopoly. b. Define the point elasticity of demand εD at a particular price and quantity combination as the ratio of price to quantity times the slope of the demand curve, Q/P, all multiplied by −1. What...

Consider an (inverse) demand curve P = 30 - Q. And a total cost curve of C(Q) = 12Q. (a) Assume a monopolist is operating in this market. (i) Calculate the quantity (qM) chosen by a profit-maximizing monopolist. (ii) At the profit-maximizing quantity, what is the monopolistic market price (pM) of the product. (iii) Calculate the dead-weight loss (allocative inefficiency) associated with this monopoly market. Assume the market for this product is perfectly competitive. (i) Calculate the market-clearing output (qPC)...
If the inverse demand curve is P=200−Q and the marginal cost is constant at $20, how does charging the monopoly a specific tax of τ=$14 per unit affect the monopoly optimum and the welfare of consumers, the monopoly, and society (where society's welfare includes the tax revenue)? What is the incidence of the tax on consumers? As a result of the tax, the profit-maximizing quantity decreases by ____ units and the profit-maximizing price increases by $_____ (Enter numeric responses using...
3. The market illustrated below has inverse demand p(Q) = 130 - 3Q and industry-wide marginal cost MCQ) = 10 + 2Q. If production is competitive, this is the market (inverse) supply curve. If production is consolidated under a monopolist, this is the monopolist's MC curve. a. Suppose there is a monopolist. Explain how marginal revenue for a monopolist is different than for a firm under perfect competition. Then derive the profit-maximizing market outcome (including the monopoly price and quantity...
