4. Monopoly (15 pts) Consider a situation where a monopolist faces the following inverse market demand curve p= 100 – 0.54 and the following cost function TC = 89 +92 a) Derive the marginal revenue and marginal cost functions. b) What are the equilibrium price and quantity if this market behaved as if it were perfectly competitive? c) What are the equilibrium price and quantity when the monopolist produces as a monopolist?
Part E-H Assume a profit-maximizing monopolist faces a market demand given by P = (12,000 – 90Q)/100 and long run total and marginal cost given by LRTC = 5Q + Q2 + 40 (Note: The answer to this question must be hand-written.): a) Find the equation of the marginal revenue curve corresponding to the market demand curve. b) Find the equation for the marginal cost function. c) Find the profit-maximizing quantity of output for the monopoly and the price the...
3. Monopoly Consider a situation where a monopolist faces the following inverse market demand curve 132 - 2a p and the following cost function TС — 12g + 2q* a) Derive the marginal revenue and marginal cost functions b) What are the equilibrium price and quantity if this market behaved as if it were competitive? c) Calculate the Consumer Surplus, Producer Surplus and Welfare levels under perfect petition d) What are the equilibrium price and quantity when the monopolist produces...
Suppose there is a monopoly in the market whose consumers are one of two types (A and B). The (inverse) demand of type A consumers are given by P = 60 −QA/4 and the (inverse) demand for type B consumers are given by P = 45 −QB/2 . Suppose that this monopolist has a constant marginal cost of production of MC(q) = 18.25 + Q/6 . Solve for the equilibrium price charged to each type of consumer and the equilibrium...

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 (S = MC) curves in the market for hot dogs. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph...
Price/Cost ($) 7) Monopoly II (6 points) The marginal costs (MC), average variable costs (AVC), and average total costs (ATC) for a monopoly are shown in the figure below. The figure also shows the demand curve (D) and the marginal revenue curve (MR) for this market. 501 ATC AVC a. What is the firm's profit-maximizing level of output? Label this on the graph. b. What price will the monopolist charge for that level of output? Label this on the graph....

3. The market illustrated below has inverse demand p(Q) = 130 - 3Q and industry-wide marginal cost MCQ) = 10 + 2Q. If production is competitive, this is the market (inverse) supply curve. If production is consolidated under a monopolist, this is the monopolist's MC curve. a. Suppose there is a monopolist. Explain how marginal revenue for a monopolist is different than for a firm under perfect competition. Then derive the profit-maximizing market outcome (including the monopoly price and quantity...
