In a monopolistic competitive market for blood pressure monitor, suppose the market demand function for the monitor is P=160 – 3Q, where P is the price for monitor, Q and the quantity of monitor demanded. Marginal cost of producing it is MC: P = 20 + Q, where P is the price of the monitor and Q is the quantity of the monitor sold. Use the Twice as Steep Rule, form the marginal revenue function. What are the price and...

Inverse demand for a good is given by the function p = 55 – 3q and inverse supply is given by the function p = 10 + 2q. The resulting per-unit price is $28, and the quantity supplied and demanded is 9. The government now sets a price ceiling of $26, and for simplicity. assume that any goods produced are sold to consumers with the highest willingness to pay. What is the resulting consumer surplus? * 121.5 (Round to the...
