Q2: The demand for a single-price monopolist’s product is Q = 60 – 2P where Q is measured in units and P is measured in $/unit.
a) At which price is the demand for the monopolist’s product unit elastic?
b) At which prices is the demand for the monopolist’s product elastic?
c) At which prices is demand for the monopolist’s product inelastic?
d) Suppose the monopoly is currently producing and selling 50 units of output.
e) Suppose instead the monopoly is currently producing and selling 24 units of output?

The monopoly’s cost is a function of its output, which is C(Q)=Q2+12, and the monopoly faces the linear inverse demand function: P=24—Q (1) Calculate the following items: marginal cost, average fixed cost, average variable cost, average total cost, and marginal revenue (2) Calculate profit-maximizing output and profit-maximizing price, determine its economic profit
Currently, a monopolist’s profit-maximizing output is 200 units per week. It sells its output at a price of $60 per unit and collects $35 per unit in revenues from the sale of the last unit produced each week. The firm’s total costs each week are $9,000. Given this information, what is the firm’s maximized weekly economic profits? What is the firm’s marginal cost?
A monopolist’s inverse demand is P=500-2Q, the total cost function is TC=50Q2 + 1000Q and Marginal cost is MC=100Q+100, where Q is thousands of units. a). what price would the monopolist charge to maximize profits and how many units will the monopolist sell? (hint, recall that the slope of the MARGINAL Revenue is twice as steep as the inverse demand curve. b). at the profit-maximizing price, how much profit would the monopolist earn? c). find consumer surplus and Producer surplus...
The graph is below.6.Refer to Figure 15-6. What area measures the
monopolist’s profit?(K-C)*W(L-A)*T(K-B)*W0.5[(K-C)*(Z-T)]20.Scenario 15-3A monopoly firm maximizes its profit by producing Q = 500 units of
output. At that level of output, its marginal revenue is $30, its
average revenue is $60, and its average total cost is $34.Refer to Scenario 15-3. At Q = 500, the firm's
profit is-$13,000.-$15,000.-$17,000.-$30,000.21.21. Refer to Figure 15-9. To maximize total
surplus, a benevolent social planner would choose which of the
following outcomes?-100 units...
14) The demand equation for a monopolist's product is p = 200 - 0.989, where p is the price per unit (in dollars) of producing q units. If the total cost c (in dollars) of producing 8 units is given by c= 0.02q2 + 2q + 8000, find the level of production at which profit is maximized. 15) The demand function for a monopolist's product is p = 100 – 39, where p is the price per unit (in dollars)...
Suppose demand in a market is P 120 Q 240 2P This is a monopoly market, where MC = 30. There are no fixed costs. (a) Illustrate demand, marginal cost and marginal revenue in a figure (b) What is the profit-maximizing quantity? Explain why. How big is the profit? (e) How large is the socio-economically optimal quantity? Explain why. How big is the loss of welfare if you instead choose the quantity that maximizes the profits of the monopoly company?...
If the inverse demand curve is P=200−Q and the marginal cost is constant at $20, how does charging the monopoly a specific tax of τ=$14 per unit affect the monopoly optimum and the welfare of consumers, the monopoly, and society (where society's welfare includes the tax revenue)? What is the incidence of the tax on consumers? As a result of the tax, the profit-maximizing quantity decreases by ____ units and the profit-maximizing price increases by $_____ (Enter numeric responses using...

1) A monopolist firm sells its output in two regions: Califomia and Florida. The demand curves for each market are QF15-PF OF and Qc are measured in 1000s of units, so you may get decimal values for Q. If P-$10 and Q-1, the profit of S10 that you calculate is actually $10,000). Qc 12.5 - 2 Pc The monopoly's cost function is C 5+3Q5+3(QF+Qc) First, we'll assume that the monopoly can only charge one price in both markets. a) Calculate...
QUESTION 23 When a good or service is a luxury, its price elasticity of demand tends to be Elastic Inelastic Unit Elastic Unknown QUESTION 24 A decrease in the price of a product that a firm sells will cause the demand for it to increase. True False QUESTION 25 Economic profits are equal to total revenues minus Only implicit costs Only explicit costs Implicit and explicit costs Marginal cost QUESTION 26
