2. A monopolist sells a product with a total cost function TC = 1200 +0.502. The market demand curve is given by the equation P= 300- a. Find the profit-maximizing output and price for this monopolist. Is the monopolist profitable? b. Calculate the price elasticity of demand at the monopolist's profit-maximizing price. Also calculate the marginal cost at the monopolist's profit-maximizing output. Verify that the IEPR holds.

A monopolist faces a demand curve P = 210 - 3Q and faces a constant marginal cost MC = 15.
A monopolist faces a demand curve P = 210 - 3Q and faces a constant marginal cost MC = 15. a) Calculate the profit-maximizing monopoly quantity and compute the monopolist's total revenue at the optimal price. d) Suppose that this monopoly opens for competition and the market becomes perfectly competitive. The firms face constant marginal cost MC = 15. Find the long-run perfectly competitive industry price and quantity.
