Suppose a profit maximizing monopolist has total cost and marginal cost as follow:1. Suppose a profit-maximizing monopolist has total cost and marginal cost as follow: \(\mathrm{TC}=0.1 Q^{2}+Q+10\) and \(\mathrm{MC}=0.2 Q+1\). It faces the demand curve \(\mathrm{Q}=35-5^{\mathrm{P}} .(35\) points \()\)a) What are the price, output, and profit for this monopolist?b) Carefully draw the diagram that illustrates your answers.c) What are the equilibrium price, output, and total profit if this is a perfectly competitive market?d) Compare the results between monopoly and perfect...
(8 points) Suppose a monopolist is the only firm that supplies water for the city of Atlanta The firm faces a market demand curve given by Q- 33-P, where P is the price of water and Q is the market demand for water per day. (1 pt) Derive the monopolist's marginal revenue curve. (2 pts) Suppose the total cost of this firm is described by a. b. TC 0.50+30. What output level will the firm choose to maximize profits? What...
Suppose a profit-maximizing monopolist has total cost and marginal cost as follow. TC =8Q + 10 and MC = 8. It faces the demand curve P=20-1/5Q. What is the equilibrium price and output? What is the total profit? Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss if the firm acts as a monopolist. Illustrate your answer with a diagram. Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss if the firm acts as a perfectly price-discriminated monopolist. Illustrate your answer with a diagram.
Consider a perfectly competitive industry in which each firm i has a total cost function given by the equation: TC= 128 + 4q+2q^2. Further assume that the industry demand function is given by the following: P = 84 – 2Q. a) Describe the long run market equilibrium. That is, identify the equilibrium price and quantity, output for each firm, the number of firms in the industry and the level of producer and consumer surplus. What is the value of own...

Question 3 (32 marks) a The market of popcom is perfectly competitive. The market demand curve and supply curve are as follows: Demand: Qp = 2000-P Supply: 2 = 1400 +2P Firm K is one of the many firms producing popcorn in the market. The total cost function and marginal cost function are as follows: TC(q) =1250 +30 +29 MC(q) - 30 +49 i At what output level (g) would the average total cost be minimized? (6 marks) ii What...
Please solve and show steps Question 1 Pleasesho l laculations to get cr) a. Suppose you are the manager of a watchmaking firm operating in competitive market. The price of the watches from the competitive market is p. The firm's cost function is given by TC 450150+202.Find equations for the marginal cost curve, average cost curve, average variable cost curve and the supply function of this firm (all the fixed costs are sunk); draw the supply function clearly showing the...
[1] A perfectly competitive aluminum producer is currently producing a quantity where the market price is $0.67 per pound (i.e., 67 cents per pound), average total cost is $0.70, and average variable cost of $0.60 (which corresponds to the minimum point on the average variable cost curve). Would you recommend this firm expand output, contract output, or shut down in the short-run? Provide a graph to illustrate your answer. [2] Suppose the local crawfish market is perfectly competitive, with the...
Suppose that the long-run total cost function for the typical mushroom producer is given by: TC=wq2 -10q+100 Where q represents the output of the typical firm and w represents the hourly wage rate mushroom pickers. The market for mushrooms is perfectly competitive. Suppose also that the demand for mushrooms is given by Q= -1000p+35,000 Where Q is the total quantity demand and P is the market price of mushrooms. 1. If the wage rate for mushroom pickers is $4.00, what...
1) Suppose the second-hand market for concert tickets is perfectly competitive and there are primarily 10 online websites where consumers can buy tickets. The following describes the market demand for concerts and the cost of selling tickets. Market Demand: Q = 480 - 4p Cost to Firm: c(q) = 2.5q^2 + 100 Market Structure: Perfect Competition with N = 10 in the short run Market Equilibrium – Intersection of Market Demand and Market Supply e) How many tickets does each...
