*2.2 If a monopoly faces an inverse demand function of p = 90 − Q , p=90−Q, has a constant marginal and average cost of 30, and can perfectly price discriminate, what is its profit? What are the consumer surplus, total surplus, and deadweight loss? How would these results change if the firm were a single-price monopoly?

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?...
