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.

Practice Question 4. The inverse demand curve a monopoly faces is p = 30 – Q. The firm's total cost function is C(Q) = 0.5Q² and thus marginal cost function is MC(Q) = Q. (a) Determine the monopoly quantity, price and profit, and calculate the CS, PS and social welfare under the monopoly. (b) Determine the socially optimal outcome and calculate the CS, PS and social welfare under the social optimum. (c) Calculate the deadweight loss due to the monopolist...

A monopoly faces the demand curve P= 11 -0.5Q, where P is measured in dollars per unit and Q in thousands of units. The monopolist has a constant average cost of $6.00 per unit. Draw the average and marginal revenue curves and the average and marginal cost curves. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, draw the average revenue curve and label it 'AR'. $/Q 2.) Using the line drawing tool, draw the marginal revenue curve and label it 'MR'. 3.)...

Problem 3: Natural Monopoly Regulation. A natural monopolist faces a demand curve P = 100-Q. The monopolist a constant marginal cost MC = 20 and an average cost AC = 20 + 800 a) In an unregulated market, what price will the monopolist charge? What is the DWL associated with this allocation? b) Suppose that a regulator imposes marginal cost regulation by setting P = 20. How many units will the monopoly sell? What is the DWL associated with this...

Suppose that a monopoly faces inverse market demand function as P = 70−2Q, and its marginal cost function is MC = 40 – Q. Please answer the following two questions: a. What should be the monopoly’s profit-maximizing output? b. What is the monopoly’s price?
A monopoly faces the demand curve P = 12 - 1.0Q,
A monopoly faces the demand curve P = 12 - 1.0Q, where P is measured in dollars per unit and Q in thousands of units. The monopolist has a constant average cost of $4.00 per unit. Draw the average and marginal revenue curves and the average and marginal cost curves. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, draw the average revenue curve and label it 'AR'. 2.) Using the line drawing tool, draw the marginal revenue curve and label it 'MR'. 3.) Using the line drawing tool,...

5. A monopolist faces a demand curve P = 60 – 2Q and initially faces a constant marginal cost MC = 4. (a) Calculate the profit-maximizing monopoly quantity and price, and compute the monopolist's total rev- enue and profits at the optimal price. (b) Suppose that the monopolist's marginal cost in- creases to MC = 8. Verify that the monopolist's total revenue goes down. (c) Suppose that all firms in a perfectly competitive equilibrium had a constant marginal cost MC...

Question 3: Consider a monopoly which faces the demand curve P= 55-2Q and having a marginal cost function MC= 2Q-5. a) (2pts) Calculate the marginal revenue (MR) function. b) (2 pts) State the profit maximizing output rule for the monopoly in the short-run. c) (4 pts) What is the profit maximing output level? Next, calculate the price and the profit of the monopoly?
Suppose that a firm produces baseball bats in a monopolistically competitive market. The following graph shows its demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve.
3. Is monopolistic competition efficient? Suppose that a firm produces baseball bats in a monopolistically competitive market. The following graph shows its demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve. Place a black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the long-run monopolistically competitive equilibrium price and quantity for this firm. Next, place a grey point (star symbol) to indicate the minimum average total cost the firm faces and the quantity associated with...
