You are a monopolist and know that your consumers have a linear demand curve. At what point along the demand curve will you not operate? Briefly explain
Homework Answers
A monopoly will not operate in the inelastic portion of the demand curve.
A monopolist faces a downward sloping demand curve and when it operates in the inelastic range, it means it can still increase the profit by producing more. It will produce until it reaches the elastic portion of the demand curve to maximize profit.

Suppose that a monopolist faces a linear demand curve having a vertical intercept of (0,a) and a horizontal intercept of (b,0). Denote the midpoint on the segment ab by the letter ‘m’ (i.e., am = bm) and let (Q*, P*) denote the coordinates at point ‘m’. A student in ECON 2010 once provided the following argument: “A profit-maximizing monopolist who sells all units at a uniform price will never produce more than Q* (or alternatively, will never charge a price...
A monopolist faces a market demand curve given by
A monopolist faces a market demand curve given by Q=70-P a. If the monopolist can produce at constant average and marginal costs ofAC-MC-6, what output level will the monopolist choose to maximize profits? What is the price at this output level? What are the monopolist's profits? b. Assume instead that the monopolist has a cost structure where total costs are described by C(Q) = 0.25Q2 - 5Q + 300. With the monopolist facing the same market demand and marginal revenue, what price-quantity combination will be chosen now...

A monopolist is facing the following demand curve P = 50 − 5Q. The monopolist has the following marginal cost MC = 10. The monopolist knows exactly the willingness to pay of each individual consumer and charge consumers individual prices. Calculate the deadweight loss in this case. (a) DWL=0 (b) DWL=10 (c) DWL=5 (d) None of the above.

USE YOUR OWN WORDS FOR YOUR RESPONSE: Explain why the marginal revenue curve for a monopolist lies below its demand curve, rather than coinciding with the demand curve, as is the case for a perfectly competitive firm. Is it ever possible for a monopolist's marginal revenue curve to coincide with its demand curve?
