Total Cost (TC) = 250+ q +0.004q2
Demand: p = 8 - 0.001Q
a) The monopolist will produce where the marginal revenue equals the marginal cost.
MC = dTC/dq
MC = 1+0.008q
TR = P*Q
TR = 8Q – 0.001Q2
Marginal Revenue(MR) = dTR/dQ
MR = 8-0.002Q
Therefore,
1+0.008q = 8 – 0.002q
0.01q = 7
q = 700
Price = 8 – 0.001*700
Price = 7.3
b) Profit = TR – TC
Profit = 7.3*700 – (250+ 700+1960)
Profit = 5110 - 2910 = $2200
c) Producer surplus = Profit = $2200
d) Consumer Surplus = 0.5*(8 – 7.3)*700 = $245

3. The zoning rule is revoked, and the monopolist in problem 2 can no longer exclude others from using the same technology and producing boxes, so the market structure changes from monopoly to perfect competition.

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.
