Suppose that the local hardware store has a monopoly on screwdrivers. The market demand is given by P = 33 – 0.25Q and the marginal revenue is MR = 33 – 0.5Q. The marginal cost of selling screwdrivers is MC = 1 + 1.5Q. What is the profit-maximizing price the monopolist should charge for the screwdrivers and how many will they sell?

Please answer this ASAP, Thanks: Suppose an energy market is a monopoly market. Demand is described by P=70−2Q, which means marginal revenue (MR) is described by MR=70-4Q, and supply (MC) is described by P = 3Q . Which of the following statements are true? The equilibrium monopoly price and quantity are $50 per unit and 10 units, respectively. The monopoly price is $8 more than the perfectly competitive market price, all else equal. The transfer (monopoly rent) received by the...

5. Monopoly outcome versus competition outcome Consider the daily market for hot dogs in a small city. Suppose that this market is in long-run competitive equilibrium with many hot dog stands in the city, each one selling the same kind of hot dogs. Therefore, each vendor is a price taker and possesses no market power. The following graph shows the demand (D) and supply (S = MC) curves in the market for hot dogs. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph...
