Consider a monopolist with the (inverse) demand function: Pb = 372 - 8 Qb. Given an increasing marginal cost: mc = 69 + 7 Q, how much profit does the monopolist earn ? (Assume fixed costs = 68 .)
Consider a Cournot duopoly, the firms face an (inverse) demand function: Pb = 41500 - 98 Qb. The marginal cost for firm 1 is given by mc1 = 1137 Q. The marginal cost for firm 2 is given by mc2 = 813 Q. What quantity will of output will the duopoly produce ? (Assume firm 1 has a fixed cost of $ 9150 and firm 2 has a fixed cost of $ 400 .) Ans. 66.69
Practice Question 4. The inverse demand curve a monopoly faces is p = 30 – Q. The firm's total cost function is C(Q) = 0.5Q² and thus marginal cost function is MC(Q) = Q. (a) Determine the monopoly quantity, price and profit, and calculate the CS, PS and social welfare under the monopoly. (b) Determine the socially optimal outcome and calculate the CS, PS and social welfare under the social optimum. (c) Calculate the deadweight loss due to the monopolist...
A monopolist faces the inverse demand function described by p = 100-2q, where q is output. The monopolist has no fixed cost and his marginal cost is $20 at all levels of output. What is the monopolist's profit as a function of his output?
You are a monopolist in a market with an inverse demand curve of: P=10-Q. Your marginal revenue is: MR(Q)=10-2Q. Your cost function is: C(Q)=2Q, and your marginal cost of production is: MC(Q)=2. a) Solve for your profit- maximizing level of output, Q*, and the market price, P*. b) How much profit do you earn?
Consider a monopolist facing the following inverse demand function: P = 200 - Q The total cost function is given by C = 100 + 50Q + 0.5Q^2 What is the monopolist's uniform profit-maximizing price? a. 130 b. 140 c. 150 d. 160
A monopolist’s inverse demand is P=500-2Q, the total cost function is TC=50Q2 + 1000Q and Marginal cost is MC=100Q+100, where Q is thousands of units. a). what price would the monopolist charge to maximize profits and how many units will the monopolist sell? (hint, recall that the slope of the MARGINAL Revenue is twice as steep as the inverse demand curve. b). at the profit-maximizing price, how much profit would the monopolist earn? c). find consumer surplus and Producer surplus...
Given the demand and supply system: Pb = 73 - 5 Qb & Pv = 3 + 2 Qv. How much surplus is created by the market?
You are a monopolist facing inverse demand for your product given by P = 120 - 2Q and you have constant marginal cost given by MC = 30 A. Assume you can charge 2 different prices based on the quantity purchased. What are the producers surplus maximizing levels of these prices? B. Show graphically how much more producer's surplus you make by setting 2 prices instead of 1 in this market.
1. A monopoly is facing an inverse demand curve that is p=200-5q. There is no fixed cost and the marginal cost of production is given and it is equal to 50. Find the total revenue function. Find marginal revenue (MR). Draw a graph showing inverse demand, MR, and marginal cost (MC). Find the quantity (q) that maximizes the profit. Find price (p) that maximizes the profit. Find total cost (TC), total revenue (TR), and profit made by this firm. Find...
