Q9. The demand for widgets (Q) is given by the following equation Q 500 - 100 P. -50P, - 150 A, + 200A the price o...
The demand for Widgets (QX) is a function of the price of widgets (PX), the price of woozles (PY), and per capita income (I): QX = 1950 - 10 PX + 5 PY - 0.1I Currently, PX = 25, PY = 10, and I = 15,000. (a) Calculate the elasticity of demand for widgets with respect to its own price, the price of woozles, and income. (b) Over what range of prices is the demand for widgets elastic? (c) If...
Let the market demand for widgets be described by Q = 1000 − 50P. Suppose further that widgets can be produced at a constant average and marginal cost of $10 per unit. a. Calculate the market output and price under perfect competition and under monopoly. b. Define the point elasticity of demand εD at a particular price and quantity combination as the ratio of price to quantity times the slope of the demand curve, Q/P, all multiplied by −1. What...
7. A monopolist in the market for widgets is facing a demand curve P= 60 - Q. The marginal cost of producing Q units is equal to $Q. (a) Calculate the monopolist's profit maximizing price and quantity. Calculate producer, consumer, and total surplus, and deadweight loss. (b) The government wants to impose a price ceiling that will maximize the total surplus in the market. What price ceiling should the government set? What would be the new values of consumer and...
please calculate carefully The demand for good (Qx) is given by the following equation: Qx = 20,200 - 12.5 Px + 5 Py-M + 1.5 Ax Suppose the firm spends $3,000 per week on advertising (Ax), Px is $80, Py is $60, and income per capita (M) in the market area is $22,000. (a) Calculate the elasticity of demand for good X with respect to its own price, the price of good Y, and Income per capita. (3) (b) Calculate...

1. Suppose that demand is given by P=100-Q, marginal revenue is MR=100-2Q, and marginal cost (and average cost) is constant at 20. a. What single price will maximize a monopolist's profit? b. What will be the prices and quantity under two-part pricing? It involves a lump sum fee (e.g., membership fee) equal to the consumer surplus at competitive prices and user fees (i.e., unit price) equal to the competitive price. c. Now the monopolist has another group of consumers whose...
1. A monopolist has costs given by C = Q and faces demand curve P = 12 - Q. a. Provide a labeled diagram that shows the monopolist's MC, AC, P and MR curves. b. Illustrate and calculate the profit maximizing level of output, price and profits. Calculate the elasticity of demand at the monopoly equilibrium price. Confirm that MR =P(1 + 1/n] d. illustrate and calculate the efficiency loss. e. Calculate the per-unit subsidy required to eliminate the efficiency...
There is only one supplier in the market for widgets, which acts as a monopolist. Suppose the monopolist has marginal costs given by MC = 30+QMC = 30+Q. Demand for widgets is given by P = 210−QP = 210−Q. If the monopolist is maximizing their profits, they will choose to produce a quantity of ____ and charge a price of____. Points possible: 1 Question 2 What is the deadweight loss caused by the firm acting as a monopolist instead of...
3. Suppose that Bob's widgets faces a downward sloping demand curve given by Q 100-4P. If Bob's marginal cost of production is $2 per unit, what is his profit maximizing level of output? His profit maximizing price?
For questions 14: Market demand for widgets is Q = 100 - p. Whether there is just one firm 10- selling widgets or many firms selling widgets, the marginal cost and average cost is 10. 10 2 Assume there is one firm selling widgets. What is the equilibrium price (p) and quantity sold (Q)? 2 Assume there are two firms selling widgets acting as Cournot duopolists (Firm 1 and Firm 2). What is the quantity sold for each firm? 122...
