10. Firm X is a monopolist that faces market demand with elasticity equal to -2, and Firm X's marginal cost of output is $24/unit. Use the mark-up formula to find Firm X's profit maximizing price. 11. Firm W is a monopolist that faces market demand with elasticity equal to -3, and Firm W's profit maximizing price is $36/unit. Use the mark-up formula to infer Firm W's marginal cost per unit at its current output level.

Suppose a monopolist faces consumer demand given by P 600 1Q with a constant marginal cost of $60 per unit (where marginal cost equals average total cost. asssume the firm has no fixed costs). If the monopoly can only charge a single price, then it will earn profits of S(Enter your response rounded as a whole number.) Correspondingly, consumer surplus is S However, if the firm were to practice price discrimination such that consumer surplus becomes profit, then, holding output...

Suppose a monopolist faces the constant price elasticity demand curve: p = Q? where ? < 0. The monopolist has a constant marginal cost of c. a. If ? < -1, can you determine what price and quantity will the monopolist set? Explain. b. If 0>?>-1, what is the price and quantity the monopolist will set?
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.

A monopolist firm faces a demand with constant elasticity of - 2.8. It has a constant marginal cost of $25 per unit and sets a price to maximize profit. If marginal cost should increase by 15 percent, would the price charged also rise by 15 percent? O A. No. Since the demand curve is downward sloping, a 15 percent increase in MC will cause the price to increase by less than 15 percent. OB. Yes. Since the price elasticity of...

A monopolist firm faces a demand with constant elasticity of negative 1.8. It has a constant marginal cost of $15 per unit and sets a price to maximize profit. If marginal cost should increase by 20 percent, would the price charged also rise by 20 percent? A. Yes. Since the price elasticity of demand is constant, Upper P equals 1.8 MC. Thus, if MC increases by 20 percent, price also increases by 20 percent. B. Yes. Since the price elasticity...
