Consider a situation when the producer is a monopolist. Assume that the market demand is P=20-Q. The monopolistic marginal cost is equal to zero and the government impresses a unit tax on the producer equal to 10. How is the price level affected by this Tax?
Suppose a monopolist sells a product to faculty members and students on the campus. If the firm sets a single price, the monopolist produces 5000 units and sell them at the price of $3 per unit. At this price, the price elasticity of demand for faculty member is -2.5. And the price elasticity of demand for students is -1.5. The monopolist is considering whether she should set different prices for the faculty members and students and asks for your advice. The monopolist is thinking about charging faculty members a 10% higher price. The quantity demanded by the faculty members would fall by %. The monopolist is thinking about charging students a 10% higher price. The quantity demanded by the students would fall by %. Who should the monopolist charge more? mention faculty and students and how much
A single price monopolist has a cost function of c(Q) = 10 + Q, where Q is output. It faces the following demand curve: Q°(p) = 0, if p > 24 and Q°(p) = 120/p, if p s 24. What is the profit-maximizing choice of output? The profit maximizing choice of output is = At this optimum level of output, calculate the consumer surplus. In addition, by drawing a graph, show the area representing the producer surplus (label it by PS) and the area representing the deadweight loss (label it by DWL). Calculate the values of producer surplus and deadweight loss.
Monopoly: Work It Out Earlier we mentioned the special case of a monopoly where MC = 0. Let’s find the firm’s best choice when more goods can be produced at no extra cost. Since so much e‑commerce is close to this model—where the fixed cost of inventing the product and satisfying government regulators is the only cost that matters—the MC = 0 case will be more important in the future than it was in the past. For each demand curve, calculate the profit-maximizing level of output and price as well as the monopolist's profit. a. ?=200−?P=200−Q, fixed cost = 1,000. Profit‑maximizing output Q = Profit‑maximizing price P = $ Monopolist's profit: $ b. ?=4,000−?P=4,000−Q, fixed cost = 900,000 (Driving the point home from part a) Profit‑maximizing output Q = Profit‑maximizing price P = $ Monopolist's profit: $ c. ?=120−12?P=120−12Q, fixed cost = 1,000…
If a monopoly faces an inverse demand curve of p=330-Q, has a constant marginal and average cost of $90, and can perfectly price discriminate, what is its profit? What are the consumer surplus, welfare, and deadweight loss? How would these results change if the firm were a single-price monopoly? Profit from perfect price discrimination (x) is (Enter your response as a whole number.)
If the inverse demand curve is p = 150-3Q and the marginal cost is constant at $12, how does charging the monopoly a specific tax of $18 per unit affect the society's welfare Society's welfare increases by $90.4 Society's welfare decreases by $220.5 Society's welfare increases by $170.8 Society's welfare decreases by $100.7 Society's welfare decreases by $93.8.
Question 27 Consider a monopoly market in which the market demand curve is given by P = 240 – 2Q, the marginal revenue curve is MR = 240 – 4Q, the marginal cost curve is MC = 2Q, and there are zero fixed costs. Suppose the government intervenes and turns the market into a competitive market, and all the firms in the market have the same marginal cost curve as the monopolist, MC = 2Q, and zero fixed costs. How much is the resulting gain in total surplus? 300 800 400 600
A monopolist faces the following aggregate demand function: Q = 28 – 1/2 P. Total production costs for the firm are TC(Q) = 40Q. Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and profits in equilibrium. Then, suppose that the monopolist decides to spend 10 to purchase a patent that would allow her to decrease total costs by 4 per unit. Find the new equilibrium quantity, price, new consumer surplus, producer surplus, and profits to the monopolist after the purchase of the patent.
Dear tutor, please solve these True/False Questions. Thank You! A monopoly always operates in the inelastic portion of its demand curve. The less elastic is the demand for a firm's product, the greater is that firm's market power.
The Spacing Guild has a monopoly on space transport. They sell tickets(Q) for seats on starships for interstellar travel at a per-ticket price of P. Alltickets cost the same. The Marginal Cost for each seat is $14 and there are no other costs.Market demand is Q=315-2P. What is the absolute value of the elasticity of demand at the point wherethe Guild produces?
Suppose that a monopolist’s demand curve is P = 9 – 2*Q. Marginal cost is expressed as follows: MC = 0.5*Q. What is the profit-maximizing price (P) the monopoly should set? What would be the output (Q) at that price? What are the current values for the consumer and producer surpluses (CS and PS)? Is it possible to calculate the profit made by the monopolist? If so, how much is it? If not, what other information would be needed to do that? What would be the 2 key options for a government regulator to increase the consumer surplus (CS) and reduce the producer surplus (PS)? Explain briefly the pros and cons of one of the options!
The inverse demand function of a monopolist is p(y) = 12 – y, and total costs is C(y)= y2 -20y +10. a. What is the profit-maximizing level of production? b. Suppose the government decides to tax the monopolist so that for each unit the monopolist sells it has to pay a tax of $2. What is the optimal output under this tax? c. Suppose the government now imposes a tax of 10% on the monopolist’s profits. What is the optimal output under this tax?
