A pharmaceutical company has a monopoly over a newly invented drug. The marginal cost of producing each bottle is $10.00. The demand curve for the drug is given by Qd = -5P + 1000. Assume the equilibrium quantity is 200. Find the profit maximizing price and the profit.

2. Assume a pharmaceutical company invented a drug that is more effective in treating (or at least life extending) blood cancers and managed to obtain a patent on the drug making the company the sole provider of this blood cancer drug in the market for the next 30 years. Assume in the long-run (i.e.,in 30 years) as the patent expires, given a perfectly elastic long-run supply in the long-run, the competitive price becomes Pc, which also represents the industry’s marginal...

In many countries such as the US, when a pharmaceutical company discovers a new drug, it can apply to the government for a patent on the new drug. The patent gives the company the exclusive right to sell the new drug for a long period of time, such as 20 years. In other words, the pharmaceutical company is a monopolist in the market for the new drug. Suppose the market demand for the new drug is shown as below: Price...
