A monopolist who sells toys faces the following demand: P(y)=100-2y. The total cost function of the monopolist is given by: c(y)=20y+10y2 . a) Find the price and quantity that maximizes the monopolist’s profit. Also calculate the profit. [3+3] b) If the monopolist can do a perfect price discrimination, then find the consumer and producer surplus.

Suppose a single price monopolist faces the inverse demand curve: P =50– 2Q. Further suppose this monopolist faces a constant MC curve: MC = 10. Compute the welfare loss created when this single monopolist maximizes profits.

Practice Question 4. The inverse demand curve a monopoly faces is p = 30 – Q. The firm's total cost function is C(Q) = 0.5Q² and thus marginal cost function is MC(Q) = Q. (a) Determine the monopoly quantity, price and profit, and calculate the CS, PS and social welfare under the monopoly. (b) Determine the socially optimal outcome and calculate the CS, PS and social welfare under the social optimum. (c) Calculate the deadweight loss due to the monopolist...

A monopolist has a cost function given by c(y) = y and faces an inverse demand curve given by P(y) = 156.00 - y, where P is the per-unit price and y is the quantity of output sold. Assume this monopolist cannot discriminate and charges a single price. What is the profit-maximizing level of output? What is its profit-maximizing price? $ Part 2 (2 points) See Hint Assume you want to choose a price ceiling for this monopolist so as...

Suppose a monopolist faces a market demand curve of the form: P 122 - 0.2Q. This monopolist has a total cost curve given by: TC 2Q. If this monopolist can only charge a single price in the market to maximise profit, what is the consumer surplus generated by this monopolist? $8702.5 $18,600 $18,000 $9,000 $62

1. (25 points) Suppose that a monopolist faces the inverse demand curve: P 100-Q and produces goods at a marginal cost of $5. Finally assume that the firm incurs no fixed costs A. Suppose the monopolist lowers the price from $90 to $89. Explain why the firm's marginal revenue is less than the price of the 11th unit sold, $89 (do not answer this question by providing a mathematical equation). B. At what price will the monopolist maximize its profit?...

Consider a situation where a monopolist faces the following inverse market demand curve p= 100 – 4 and the following cost function TC = 4q+72 a) Derive the marginal revenue and marginal cost functions. b) What are the equilibrium price and quantity if this market behaved as if it were perfectly competitive? c) Calculate the Consumer Surplus, Producer Surplus and Welfare levels under perfect com- petition. d) What are the equilibrium price and quantity when the monopolist produces as a...
The inverse demand curve for a firm with market power is P = 120 – Q,...
The inverse demand curve for a firm with market power is P = 120 – Q, and its marginal cost is given by MC = 2Q. If the firm is able to practice perfect first-degree price discrimination (instead of behaving as a single-price monopolist), the deadweight loss will _________ (increase or decrease) from $ _______ to $ _______ .

Exercise 7. A monopolist faces inverse demand p(y) and cost c(y) with c'> 0 and c" 2 0. Demonstrate that the monopolist sets the price where demand is elastic. (So much for the popular argument that a monopolist manipulates inelastic demand.)

A monopolist faces the inverse demand function described by p = 100-2q
A monopolist faces the inverse demand function described by p = 100-2q, where q is output. The monopolist has no fixed cost and his marginal cost is $20 at all levels of output. What is the monopolist's profit as a function of his output?
