Suppose a monopolist faces the constant price elasticity demand curve: p = Q? where ? < 0. The monopolist has a constant marginal cost of c. a. If ? < -1, can you determine what price and quantity will the monopolist set? Explain. b. If 0>?>-1, what is the price and quantity the monopolist will set?

In a market of a certain good, there is a monopolist who has a constant marginal cost c = 8. There are two consumers (i = 1, 2) in this market, and their demand functions are given by p = 20 − 4q for consumer 1 and p = 25 − 5q for consumer 2. Suppose that the monopolist is trying to design an optimal two-part tariff. A. If the monopolist maximizes its profit while it wants to attract both...

A) Suppose a monopoly sells to two identifiably different types of customers, A and B, who are unable to practice arbitrage. The inverse demand curve for group A is PA = 29 - QA, and the inverse demand curve for group B is PB = 19 - 2QB. The monopolist is able to produce the good for either type of customer at a constant marginal cost of 3, and the monopolist has no fixed costs. If the monopolist practices group...
