Your firm is a monopoly supplier of a good. The inverse demand for your good (in dollars) is given by P=250−0.02Q . Your firm's cost function (in dollars) is C(Q)=400000+22Q+0.01Q2. Some of that cost comes from a critical part that you import from England that currently costs you $12.00 US for every unit of output that you produce.
The current exchange rate is 1.20 $/£. How much profit (in $US) does your firm make? Round your answer to the nearest penny.
If the exchange rate rises to 1.50 $/£, how much profit (in $US) does your firm make? Round your answer to the nearest penny.
If firm produces Q quantity Revenue = (250-0.02Q)*Q = 250Q - 0.02Q2
Hence Profit = 250Q - 0.02Q2 - (400000+22Q+0.01Q2)
or, Profit = 250Q - 0.02Q2 - 400000-22Q-0.01Q2
or, Profit, P = -400000+228Q -0.03Q2
At Maximum Profit , dP/dQ = 0
hence, dP/dQ = 0 = d/dQ( -400000+228Q -0.03Q2)
or, 0 = 0+228-0.03*2Q
or, 0.06Q =228
or, Q = 228/0.06 = 3800
Hence Profit maximizing quantity is 3800 units
Profit at Q=3800 = -400000+228*3800 -0.03*38002
or, P = -400000+866400-433200 = $33200
Total Cost of critical part for 3800 units = 12*3800 = $45600
Total Cost of critical part for 3800 units at new exchange rate= 45600*1.5/1.2 =$57000
Hence Total Cost increases by 57000-45600 = $11400
Hence Net Profit will reduce to 33200-11400 = $21800

A monopoly sells its good in the U.S. and Japanese markets. The American inverse demand function is Pa = 100 - Qa and the Japanese inverse demand function is Pj = 90 - 2Qj where both prices, Pa and pi, are measured in dollars. The firm's marginal cost of production is m = $15 in both countries. If the firm can prevent resales, what price will it charge in both markets? (Hint: The monopoly determines its optimal (monopoly) price in...
A monopoly sells its good in the U.S. and Japanese markets. The American inverse demand function is: Pa=100-Qa and the Japanese inverse demand function is pj=90-2Qj where both prices, Pa and Pj, are measured in dollars. The firm's marginal cost of production is m = $25 in both countries. If the firm can prevent resales, what price will it charge in both markets? (Hint: The monopoly determines its optimal (monopoly) price in each country separately because customers cannot resell the...
