A monopolist is deciding how to allocate output between two geographically separated markets (East Coast and Midwest). Demands for the two markets are:
Q1 = 15 - P1
Q2 = 12.5 – 0.5 P2
The monopolist’s total cost is C = 5 + 3(Q1 + Q2 ). What are the prices, outputs, profits in each market if the monopolist can price discriminate? Check that the profit maximizing price and its elasticity of demand have the following relation between markets:
P1 (1+1/ E1 )= P2 (1+1/ E2 ).
(Elasticity: E=(dQ/Q)/(dP/P)=(dQ/dP)(P/Q).)

A monopolist is deciding how to allocate output between two geographically separated markets (East Coast and Midwest). Demand and marginal revenue for the two markets are: What are price, output, profits, marginal revenues, and deadweight loss if the monopolist can price discriminate? (round all answers to two decimal places) P1 20-Q1 MR1 20-2Q1 P2 25-2Q2 MR2 = 25 - 4Q2 The monopolist's total cost is C 5+5 (Q1+Q2) In market 1, the price is $ 12.5 and the quantity is...
Assignment I Name: Due date: Jan.29 ID: 1. (3 points) A monopolist is deciding how to allocate output between two geographically separated markets (East Coast and Midwest). Demands for the two markets are: -15-P o,-12.5-05 P The monopolist's total cost is C-5+3Q,Q2). What are the prices, outputs, profits in each market if the monopolist can price discriminate? Check that the profit maximizing price and its elasticity of demand have the following relation between markets: (Elasticity: E (dQ (dP/P) (dQdP P/Q))
A monopolist is deciding on the quantity of output to produce in two different countries. Demand for the two countries are: Q1=12-P1 Q2 = 12 − 2*P2 ATC = MC = $4 a. (10) What are price, output, and profits, if the monopolist can price discriminate b. (10) What are price, output, and profits,if the law prohibits charging different prices in the two countries? c.

Consider a monopolist selling in two markets. The demands in markets 1 and 2 are given by q1 =100−p1 q2 =120−1/2p2 Marginal cost is constant and given by MC = 20. There are no fixed costs. Find a) optimal output, price in market 1, b) optimal output and price in market 2 and c) total profit. What can we say about demand elasticities of the two markets at the optimal outputs?

Question 6 (1 point) Consider a monopolist which sells output in two markets, the home market and the foreign market. The monopolist faces a linear demand curve of P1 - 20 - Q1 in the home market and P2 - 40-202 in the foreign market. The monopolists total cost is (Q=1500+q?
