Suppose that the Chengdu Style restaurant sells an amount q of
food; the total cost function for Chengdu is given by:
TC = 1000 + 800q + q2.
The quantity (q) demanded for Chengdu Style food is very high.
Suppose that it is given by:
q = 2000 − pwhere p is the price of food sold at Chengdu.
(a) What is the marginal private cost of Chengdu Style?
(b) Suppose Chengdu’s clients have several other restaurants to go to in and around Davis such that Chengdu faces a perfectly competitive market. If Chengdu maximizes profits by choice of quantity q, what is the market equilibrium quantity and price?
(c) What is the consumer surplus and producer surplus?
(d) Suppose that Chengdu Style utilizes palm oil in their cooking which causes damages to the society equivalent to 5q per unit of food produced. What is the marginal private cost of Chengdu Style? What is the marginal social cost of Chengdu Style?
(e) What is the social optimal level of Chengdu Style’s food production and the social optimal price?

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.

A natural monopolist faces the following demand curve: P = 202 - 5Q, its total cost is given by: TC = 720 + 2Q (marginal cost is the slope of total cost). (a) If the government regulates the monopolist to charge a socially optimal price, what price will it charge and how many units will it sell? How much are the profit, consumer surplus and producer surplus? (b) If it is not a regulated monopolist, what is its profit maximizing...

Suppose we have a market demand Q = 18 – P and a cost C(Q) 9) = 3Q?. 1 Suppose we realize that the market described in question 1 (Market demand is still Q = 18 – P) has a negative externality. The cost function Cp(Q) -Q2 is private cost. We 2 now know the cost of the externality is CE(Q) = Q2. a. What is the marginal cost of the externality, MCE? b. What is the marginal cost to...

Consider the market for private economics tutors in Davis. Assume it is perfectly compet itive. The market's inverse demand curve is p = 1600 - 5Q, with Q being the number of students receiving tutor per quarter and p being price per quarter. Economics tutors' private marginal cost curve is MCP = 100+ 5Q. Also assume that, because economics professors curve their classes, when one student improves her grade, it causes every other student to have a lower grade. This...

1 Production Externality A barbecue restaurant on Monroe Street has a (private) marginal cost function given by MC = 8 + 0.10%, where QⓇ is the quantity supplied, and MC is measured in dollars. The inverse demand function for the product is given by P = 25 -0.52", where Q" is the quantity demanded and P is the price. Production at the restaurant spreads a barbecue odor through the neighborhood, and the marginal external cost is estimated to be constant...
