Demand Function : P = 50- Q
Cost Function: TC = 10q
Total Revenue Function : TR = P*Q
Substituting P by the demand function
TR = (50 -Q)Q = 50Q - Q2
The following graph plot TR and TC against Q
The profit maximizing level of monopolist is when MR =MC
MR =dTR/dQ
MR = 50 - 2Q
MC = dTC/dQ
MC = 10
Profit maximizing output
MR = MC
50-2Q = 10
Q = 20
P = 50 - 20 = 30
At this level the gap between TC and TR is maximum which is the profit
Profit = TR - TC
At Q = 20
TR = 600
TC = 200
Profit = 400
Profit Function = TR - TC
Here profit = 50Q - Q2 - 10Q
Profit = 40Q - Q2
This function has a maxima at Q = 20
Hence proved q=20 is the profit maximizing quantity for this monopolist

1. Suppose the demand function facing a monopolist is given as p=50- and the cost function is given as C=109. Determine the total revenue function for the monopolist, and graph the relationship between total revenue, total cost and output. In your answer determine the profit maximizing level of output that would be chosen by the monopolist, and discuss mathematically how you know it is a profit maximum.

Question 2 (7 marks) A monopolist faces the demand for its product: p = a - bQ. The monopolist has a marginal cost given by c and a fixed cost given by F. Answer the following questions, while showing all of your derivation steps. Just providing final answer does not warrant any mark. 2-a) Assume that F is sufficiently small such that the monopolist produces a strictly positive level of output. What are the profit-maximizing price and quantity? (3 marks)...
