1)Suppose Demand for Apples (in bushels) is given by Q = 90-P and Supply is given by Q = P. The market for apples is dominated by a single, monopolistic firm "NYC Apples". Suppose you could regulate the market for Apples and impose a price ceiling. What price would maximize social welfare (combined producer and consumer surplus)?
2)Suppose Demand for Apples (in bushels) is given by Q = 90-P and Supply is given by Q = P. The market for apples is dominated by a single, monopolistic firm "NYC Apples". How much more will consumers pay for Apples with NYC Apples being a monopoly compared to if it were a perfectly competitive market?
Answer:-1)
assuming, the MC of monopoly is the supply curve
MC=Q
and
The inverse demand curve
Q=90-P
P=90-Q
MR=90-2Q ........... The MR curve is double sloped than the demand
curve
The monopoly produces at MR=MC
equating both
90-2Q=Q
3Q=90
Q=30
P=90-30=$60
the firm will charge $60
Answer:-2)
The monopoly produces at MR=MC
equating both
90-2Q=Q
3Q=90
Q=30
The firm will produce 30 units

Suppose Demand for Apples (in bushels) is given by Q = 90-P and Supply is given by Q = P. The market for apples is dominated by a single, monopolistic firm "NYC Apples". What is NYC Apples profit at the monopoly price?
Suppose that in the market for apples, demand and supply are given by the following functions: LaTeX: D: Q^{D}=65-5P D : Q D = 65 − 5 P S: Q^{S}=(-8)+5P S : Q S = ( − 8 ) + 5 P 1.) The equilibrium price in the market is $ . 2.) The equilibrium quantity in this market apples. 3.) At P=9.5 P = 9.5 , there is a surplus of apples.
Suppose that in a perfectly competitive market, demand is given by Q=58.0-P and supply is given by Q=P-27.0. The government imposes a per-unit excise tax of $1 on the good. What is producer surplus after the tax is imposed? No units, no rounding.
*2.2 If a monopoly faces an inverse demand function of p = 90 − Q , p=90−Q, has a constant marginal and average cost of 30, and can perfectly price discriminate, what is its profit? What are the consumer surplus, total surplus, and deadweight loss? How would these results change if the firm were a single-price monopoly?
Market demand for a good is given as Qd = 90 - P. Market supply is given as Q. = 5P. a) What is equilibrium price and quantity traded in this market? a. P = 15 and Q = 75 b. P = 45 and Q = 45 C. P = 40 and Q = 50 d. P = 10 and Q = 70 b) What is the point price elasticity of demand when P 20? a. Ep = 3.45,...
For a perfectly competitive market, daily demand for a good is given by P-10-Q, where P ¡s price and Q is quantity. Supply is given by P = 2 + Q. Suppose the government imposes an excise tax of $2 on sellers in the market. (An excise tax is a tax per unit.) (a) What is the original (before the tax) producer surplus and (b)new (after the tax) producer surplus?
Suppose that in a perfectly competitive market, demand is given by Q=63.0-P and supply is given by Q=P-9.0. What is aggregate surplus in the competitive market equilibrium? No units, no rounding.
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...
1. Given supply curve: P-5Q; and demand curve: P- 150- Q А. Calculate the consumer surplus if this market is in competitive equilibrium. В. competitive equilibrium. What is the Total surplus if this market is in Calculate the producer surplus if this market is in С. competitive equilibrium. D. Suppose the market price is $75, calculate the producer, consumer, and total surplus.
Question 1: In a perfectly competitive market, the demand curve is given as: Q=100-5P, the supply curve is given as Q=3P-12. Compute the total social surplus of this market. If the government impose a tax on the producers, and the tax rate is $2 per unit produced. What is the deadweight loss? If the government impose a tax on the consumers, and the tax rate is $2 per unit purchased, graphically show the change in the market equilibrium and the...
