2 Monopoly (9 points) Silecro has a monopoly for silent velcro. Their demand is p 300-2Q and thei...
Question 3: Consider a monopoly which faces the demand curve P= 55-2Q and having a marginal cost function MC= 2Q-5. a) (2pts) Calculate the marginal revenue (MR) function. b) (2 pts) State the profit maximizing output rule for the monopoly in the short-run. c) (4 pts) What is the profit maximing output level? Next, calculate the price and the profit of the monopoly?
Problem 3: A market with a monopoly producer has inverse demand P = 120 - 2Q (which gives marginal revenue MR = 120 - 4Q). The monopolist has marginal costs are MCQ) = 4Q and no fixed costs. a) What is the monopolist's producer surplus when it charges the profit maximizing uniform price. b) What is the deadweight loss due to monopoly in this market? c) What would the monopolist's producer surplus be if it could engage in first degree...
Consider a local utility that has a demand curve given by p = 100,000 - 2q and has constant marginal cost of $2. The fixed cost of the firm is $100,000. a. What is the Average total cost (ATC) of the firm? b. Find the unregulated monopoly price and output. c. Calculate the deadweight loss or the welfare loss. d. Where is the efficient output? e. Find the price that needs to be set to regulate it using the average...
Consider a monopolist facing the demand curve p = 90 − 2q with cost function c(q) = 0.25q^2 . (a) Find the profit-maximizing quantity qm and price pm. What are the monopolist’s profits? (b) What is the value of the Lerner index at qm? (c) Find the efficient quantity and draw a graph depicting the deadweight loss under monopoly.
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...
A two-product firm faces the following demand and cost functionsL Q 1 = 40 2P 1 P 2 , Q 2 = 35 P 1 P 2 , C = Q 2 1 + 2Q 2 2 + 10. (a) Find the output levels that satisfy the first-order condition for maximum profit. (b) Check the second-order sufficient condition. Can you conclude that this problem possesses a unique absolute maximum? (c) What is the maximal profit? A two-product firm faces the...
2. In a market, the demand is Q = 50 - P. A monopoly company operating in this market has the cost function C = 150. (a) Illustrate demand, marginal cost, and marginal revenue in a figure. (b) What is the profit-maximizing quantity? Explain why. What is the price thus? Illustrate in the figure. (c) Now suppose that the cost function is instead C = F+Q? which means that the fixed cost is F and MC = 20. How big...
3. Two firms that are engaged in Stackelberg competition face the market inverse demand curve P-100-2Q, where Q is the total 22-0.Sqy, what is Firm 1's (the first-mover's) nverse demand une output, q2. Each firm produces the product at a constant marginal cost of $22. If Firm 2's reaction function is P 56-4 OP=100-2(92-22 + 0.050;) OP=88-1.541 P 88-24
2*. Consider a market with two firms where the inverse demand function is given by p = 28 - 2q and where q = q1 + q2. Each firm has the total cost function c(qi) = 4qi, where i = {1,2}. a) Compare price level, quantities and profits in this market calculating the Cournot equilibrium and the Stackelberg equilibrium. Draw a graph with best response functions and illustrate the Cournot and Stackelberg solutions in that graph. b) Compare your solutions...
