In some cities, Uber has a monopoly on ride-sharing services. In one town, the demand curve on weekdays is given by the following equation: P = 50 - 1Q. However, during weekend nights, or surge hours, the demand for rides increases dramatically and the new demand curve is: P = 100 - 1Q. Assume that marginal cost is initially 0. What is the profit maximizing price during weekdays and surge hours? (Round answers to 2 decimal places as needed.) The...

Scenario A: A monopolist faces the following demand curve, marginal revenue curve, total cost curve for its product: Q=3500-5p MR= 250-Q TC=15Q MC=100 What level of output maximizes total revenue? What is the profit maximizing level of output? What is profit maximizing price? How much profit does the monopolist earn? Suppose that a tax of $10 for each unit produced is imposed by state government. What is the profit maximizing level of output
Suppose a profit-maximizing monopolist has total cost and marginal cost as follow
Suppose a profit-maximizing monopolist has total cost and marginal cost as follow. TC =8Q + 10 and MC = 8. It faces the demand curve P=20-1/5Q. What is the equilibrium price and output? What is the total profit? Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss if the firm acts as a monopolist. Illustrate your answer with a diagram. Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss if the firm acts as a perfectly price-discriminated monopolist. Illustrate your answer with a diagram.

CENGAGE | MINDTAP Aplia Homework: Monopoly 5. Monopoly outcome versus competition outcome Consider the daily market for hot dogs in a small city. Suppose that this market is in long-run competitive equilibrium, with many hot dog stands in the city, each one selling the same kind of hot dogs. Therefore, each vendor is a price taker and possesses no market power. The following graph shows the demand (D) and supply curves (S - MC) in the market for hot dogs....
