(a) Uly paper clip dispensers are produced with a fixed cost of $10,000 and a constant marginal cost of $6. If the demand for these dispensers has a price elasticity of -1.5, what is the profit-maximizing price?
(b) (10 points) At this profit-maximizing price, what is the marginal revenue?
Homework Answers
A.P
should be $17.64 at the profit maximizing price.

Firm A produces widgets at a constant unit cost of 2 and a fixed cost of 15. It faces market demand P =22 − 2Q. a) If A is profit-maximizing, what price will it set? What will be the quantity sold and profit? b) Calculate the elasticity of demand at this point. What is its relationship to marginal revenue (MR)?

Consider a monopolist who has constant marginal cost of $20 and no fixed cost. This monopolist can distinguish between students and non-students. The demand function for each consumer group is as follows: Students: P = 200 − Q. Non-students: P = 400 − 2Q. (a) Find the profit-maximizing quantity to sell to each group. (b) Find the profit-maximizing price to charge to each group. (c) Calculate the monopolist’s profit.

Suppose that the demand for a special kind of silica is given by Q = 55 – 0.5P, where Q is in tons of silica per day and P is the price per ton. This special kind of silica is produced by Thorpe Industries (a monopolist) that has a constant marginal and average total cost of $10 per ton. [up to 6 points] a. Derive the inverse demand and marginal revenue curves faced by Thorpe Industries. b. Equate marginal cost...

Cadie's Candy Shop (CCS) makes a special kind of candy that has become very popular with its customers. The marginal cost of producing this candy is constant. It is equal to $3.5 per box. a. At a markup of 80%, what price should CCS charge for its candy? b. Assuming that price elasticity of demand for this of kind candy is - 1.5, determine if the price CCS charges for its special candy is a profit-maximizing price. If it is...

What is limit pricing? a. Suppose your firm produces a product at a constant marginal cost equal to $1. Suppose the elasticity of demand is -3. What is the profit maximizing price if one ignores the possibility of entry? b. suppose at the above price economic profits are quite large. So your firm can expect entry. Assume that if one firm enters it would increase the elasticity of demand from -3 to -4. while if 2 firm enter it would...
