Suppose that a monopoly makes a loss if it charges a uniform price to all its customers, but is
able to make a profit if it uses a second-degree price discrimination scheme. Does the price
discrimination bring us closer or further away from efficiency? Why?
Homework Answers
Usually in the case of a second degree price discrimination, the more quantity consumed the less the price would be and in this regard if the Monopoly uses this sort of price discrimination what happens is there different people or consumers actually get to pay different prices and this allows the the Monopoly at times to actually capture the consumer surplus and from the perspective of the Monopoly it's actually beneficial to them in terms of profit but in reality it is moving farther from efficiency or market conditions all in all

Problem 1. Second Degree price discrimination Suppose all consumers are identical and market demand given by p = 100-q. The monopoly's cost function is C(q) q2. (a) Suppose the monopolist cannot discriminate prices and must set a uniform price. Compute price and quantity set by the monopolist. Compute the profit of the monopoly. b) Suppose now that the monopoly can set a two-part tariff. Find the optimal two-part tariff. Compute the profit of the monopolist Problem 2. Third Degree price...

. Profit maximization and loss minimizationBYOB is a monopolist in beer production and distribution in the imaginary economy of Hopsville. Suppose that BYOB cannot price discriminate; that is, it sells its beer at the same price per can to all customers. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and demand (D) for beer in this market.Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for...

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...

Suppose the monopoly has a constant marginal cost of 0 and can sell its good to two different groups of customers. One group of “poor” has demand function P = 1.5 – Q; the other – equally large group of “rich” has demand: P = 2 – Q. The seller cannot tell whether a particular consumer is rich or poor, but she knows that there is equal number of both types. What is the optimal pair of two-part tariffs: the...

A monopoly sells in two countries . The demand curves in the two countries are p1 = 12−q1, and p2 = 48−q2. The monopoly’s MC is $4. Now, suppose a long-running trade war between the two countries comes to an end, allowing resales between the two countries. The monopoly is now forced to charge the same price in both countries. The monopoly would have two options: (1) Sell at a price low enough (lower than 12), so that consumers from...
