The information in the table below depicts the total demand for premium channel digital cable TV subscriptions in a small urban market. Assume that each digital cable TV operator pays a fixed cost of $100,000 (per year) to provide premium digital channels in the market area and that the marginal cost of providing the premium channel service to a household is zero. Table 16-1 Price (per year) $120 3,000 $100 6,000 $ 80 9,000 12,000 $ 40 15,000 $ 20...
Question 12 (1 point) This graph shows the demand for cable TV services in a town of 50,000 households. The local government has given a monopoly franchise to a cable company. The graph also shows the marginal revenue (MR) curve, the marginal cost (MC) curve, and the average total cost (ATC) curve for cable TV services. Notice that the firm's monthly marginal cost is constant at $10 per household. Assume that in the long run, the cable company can avoid...

Suppose you are the mayor of a small town with one cable television company. You are in charge of regulating the price the cable tv company can charge for subscriptions to its services. You know that demand for cable TV and the total costs of the cable company are as follows: QD = 260 - 16P TC = 100 + 10Q 1: What is the TV company's marginal cost? 2: Suppose you decide to make the cable provider charge P=ATC....
Question 3 A monopolist faces a demand curve given by P = 105 - 30 where P is the price of the good and Q is the quantity demanded. The marginal cost of production is constant and is equal to $15. There are no fixed costs of production. Hint: To answer the following questions, it may be helpful to draw a graph! What quantity should the monopolist produce in order to maximize profit? What price should the monopolist charge in...
