Homework 3 Due July 25, 2018 1. (a) Suppose you are selling a product for $10 per unit in a competitive industry; using the perfectly competitive model, show and explain what your profit will be if you sell 20 units at a cost of $5 per unit. (5 Points) (b) What will you do to maximize profit if your marginal cost falls from $10 to $6? (5 Points) 2. Suppose you decide to manage a monopoly instead. If your demand and cost functions are estimated as follows: (a) What is the price-quantity combination that will (b) What will be your maximum profit? (5 Points) P-200-2Q and C(Q1,200 2Q maximize profit? (5 Points) (c) What will be the maximum revenue to be obtained? Hint solve for MR quantity, use the quantity to solve for price, and multiply price by MR quantity. (5 Points)

    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...

         Suppose the inverse demand curve for a commodity in a perfectly competitive market takes the functional form: P (Q) = -.1Q + 10. Additionally, the firm’s marginal cost (MC) takes the following functional form: MC = 4 + 2Q. Recalling that a perfectly competitive firm is a price-taker in the market and its profit-maximizing output level (Qe) is always found by equating its price with its marginal cost: P = MC. Given all this, how much output (Qe) should the...

    1. (25 points) Suppose that a monopolist faces the inverse demand curve: P 100-Q and produces goods at a marginal cost of $5. Finally assume that the firm incurs no fixed costs A. Suppose the monopolist lowers the price from $90 to $89. Explain why the firm's marginal revenue is less than the price of the 11th unit sold, $89 (do not answer this question by providing a mathematical equation). B. At what price will the monopolist maximize its profit?...
