Solution:
1) Total cost = ATC * Output
Total cost = $43 * 2 million = $86 million
2) Economic Profits = (Average Revenue (Price) - Average Cost) * Output
Economic Profits = (50 - 43) * 2 = 14 million
The marginal revenue curve of a monopoly crosses its marginal cost curve at $30 per unit...
Suppose that a perfectly competitive firm faces a market price of $ 12 12 per unit, and at this price the upward-sloping portion of the firm's marginal cost curve crosses its marginal revenue curve at an output level of 1 comma 800 1,800 units. If the firm produces 1 comma 800 1,800 units, its average variable costs equal $ 7.00 7.00 per unit, and its average fixed costs equal $ 1.00 1.00 per unit. What is the firm's profit-maximizing (or...

If a perfectly competitive firm's marginal revenue was less than its marginal cost, u it would raise its price in order to increase its profits. it would decrease output. U it must be currently earning economic losses. both (a) and (c) are true.
A monopoly produces widgets at a marginal cost of $8 per unit and zero fixed costs. It faces an inverse demand function given by P = 38 - Q.What are the profits of the monopoly in equilibrium? A. $225B. $120C. $345D. None of the statements associated with this question are correct
2)Maui Macadamia Inc. has a monopoly in the macadamia nut industry. The demand curve, marginal revenue and marginal cost curve for macadamia nuts are given as follows: P = 360 - 4Q. MR = 360 - 8Q. MC = 4Q e) At the profit maximizing level of output, what is the deadweight loss? f) What is the maximum amount that Maui Macadamia would be willing to spend in order to maintain its monopoly through rent seeking?
A: A monopolist faces the following demand curve, marginal revenue curve, total cost curve for its product: Q=3500-5p MR= 250-Q TC=15Q MC=100 What level of output maximizes total revenue? What is the profit-maximizing level of output? What is the profit-maximizing price? How much profit does the monopolist earn? Suppose that a tax of $10 for each unit produced is imposed by the state government. What is the profit-maximizing level of output?
Price Discrimination Draw the graph for a monopoly with demand, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves. Identify the profit-maximizing output level (Qm) and price (Pm). Suppose the monopolist sells Qm units of output at the regular price and then puts the product on sale at a lower price, Ps. Show the new price and quantity. Identify the consumer surplus of the additional sales. What happens to the firm's profits? Does price discrimination lead to a more efficient or less efficient...
If a firm's marginal cost exceeds its marginal revenue, then a. profit is negative b. the firm should shut down c. cutting back production will increase profits d. the firm should reduce its per-unit cost by increasing its output
Scenario A: A monopolist faces the following demand curve, marginal revenue curve, total cost curve for its product: Q=3500-5p MR= 250-Q TC=150 MC=100 What level of output maximizes total revenue? What is the profit maximizing level of output? What is profit maximizing price? How much profit does the monopolist earn? Suppose that a tax of $10 for each unit produced is imposed by state government. What is the profit maximizing level of output
1.) What is the main difference between a competitive firm and a monopoly? a. A competitive firm owns a key resource, but a monopoly firm does not. b.
