Assume that a monopolist sells a product with a total cost function: TC=1000 + 500Q + Q2 The market demand curve is given by the equation: Q = 500 - 0.25P A. What price and quantity would be expected if the firm can operate completely unregulated? B. The firm has asked you to recommend a price and quantity that would be socially efficient. Recommend a price and quantity to the firm. C. When moving from the socially efficient price and...
6. (16 points) Suppose we realize that the market described in question 1 (Market demand is still Q = 18 – P) has a negative externality. The cost function C(Q) = Q2 is private cost. We now know the cost of the externality is Ca(Q)=Q?. a. What is the marginal cost of the externality, MCE? b. What is the marginal cost to society of production MCS? c. What is the Socially Optimal quantity and price? d. How does the socially...

2. (16 points) Monopoly and Bertrand opoly and Bertrand Duopoly. In a monopoly market, the de mand is p = 240 - 20. The firm's cost function is: for Q>O, C(Q) = 40 (a) Find the monopoly quantity and price.. Q = and PM = (b) Find the deadweight loss in the monopoly model. DWL = (c) If instead there are two identical firms that compete according to Bertrand price competition, is the equilibrium price? Pi = p = ____...
Consider a single-price monopolist (i.e. the monopolist cannot price discriminate) facing the following market demand curve: P = 120 − Q. The monopolist has constant marginal cost of $20 and zero fixed cost. (a) Determine the monopolist’s profit maximizing quantity, denoted QM, and profit maximizing price, denoted PM. (b) Determine the quantity and price that would result in the market if this instead were a competitive market, denoted QC and PC, respectively. (c) Draw a picture of the market demand...
