1) A monopolist faces two consumer groups: old and young. The inverse demand of old clients for the output of the monopolist is P=180-5Q. The inverse demand of young clients for the output of the monopolist is P=50-5Q. The cost of supplying any type of client is C(Q)=1000. If the monopolist can price discriminate between the two groups (i.e., charge a different uniform price to each group), a) what price will old clients be charged? b) what price will young...

22. Suppose a monopoly sells to two identifiably different types of customers, A and B, who are unable to practice arbitrage. The inverse demand curve for group A is PA 20-QA, and the inverse demand curve for group B is PB 20-2QB. The monopolist is able to produce the good for either type of customer at a constant marginal cost of 4, and the monopolist has no fixed costs. If the monopolist practices group price discrimination, what are the profit...

A monopolist has a cost function given by c(y) = y and faces an inverse demand curve given by P(y) = 156.00 - y, where P is the per-unit price and y is the quantity of output sold. Assume this monopolist cannot discriminate and charges a single price. What is the profit-maximizing level of output? What is its profit-maximizing price? $ Part 2 (2 points) See Hint Assume you want to choose a price ceiling for this monopolist so as...

A) Suppose a monopoly sells to two identifiably different types of customers, A and B, who are unable to practice arbitrage. The inverse demand curve for group A is PA = 29 - QA, and the inverse demand curve for group B is PB = 19 - 2QB. The monopolist is able to produce the good for either type of customer at a constant marginal cost of 3, and the monopolist has no fixed costs. If the monopolist practices group...

A natural monopolist faces the following demand curve: P = 409 - 2Q, its total cost is given by: TC = 12800 + 9Q (marginal cost is the slope of total cost). (a) If the government regulates the monopolist to charge a socially optimal price, what price will it charge and how many units will it sell? How much are the profit, consumer surplus and producer surplus? (b) If it is not a regulated monopolist, what is its profit maximizing...
