Solved in 3 steps
- A monopolist faces a market demand curve given by: Q= 70−p. a) If the monopolist can produce at constant average and marginal costs of: AC = MC = 6. what output level will the monopolist choose to maximize profits? What is the price at this output level? What are the monopolist’s profits? b)Assume instead that the monopolist has a cost structure where total costs are described by: C(Q) = 0.25Q^2 - 5Q + 300.With the monopolist facing the same market demand and marginal revenue, what price- quantity combination will be chosen now? What will profits be? c)Assume instead that the monopolist has a cost structure where total costs are described by: C(Q) = 0.0133Q^3 -5Q + 250.With the monopolist facing the same market demand and marginal revenue, what price-quantity combination will be chosen now? What will profits be? d) Graph the market demand curve, the MR curve, and the three marginal cost curves from (a), (b), and (c).A monopolist has a cost function of c(y)=yso that its marginal costs are constant at $1 per unit. it faces the following demand curve: 0 if p> 20 or 100/y if p is less than or equal to 20 find (1) What is the profit-maximizing choice of output? (2) If the government could set a price ceiling on this monopolist in order to force it to act as a competitor, what price should the government set? 3) What output would the monopolist produce if he is forced to behave as a competitor?Suppose a monopolist has the following cost function C(Q) = 40Q (with marginal cost MC = 40). Suppose it faces market demand of P = 100 - Q.< (a) Sketch market demand, marginal revenues, and marginal costs. Be neat.< (b) What is the monopolist's optimal level of output, price, and profits? Show your work.< (c) What is the deadweight loss (DWL) associated with the monopoly output? Show your work and explain why the DWL arises.< (d) (Cournot Competition) Now suppose we added a second firm that has identical costs to the monopolist. Show that the resulting Cournot Equilibrium has each firm producing output of 60 units. That is, show that, if the other firm sells 60 units, then the best a firm can do is also sell 60 units. (e) What are total profits under Cournot Competition compared to the Monopoly case? Why do they differ? (f) What happens to the deadweight loss under Cournot Competition relative to the Monopoly case? Explain why this happens.<
- A monopolist has a cost function given by C(y)=y2 and faces a demand curve given by P(y) = 120-y. a) What is the profit maximising level of output and the price that the monopolist will charge? Show your calculations. b) If you impose a lump sum tax of £100 on this monopolist, what will be the impact on output? Explain your calculations and the intuition behind your result. c) If you wanted to choose a price ceiling for this monopolist so as to maximise consumer plus producer surplus, what price ceiling should you choose? How much output will the monopolist produce at this price ceiling? Explain your calculations.A monopolist is producing 2 goods. A demand for the first good: A demand for the second good: The total cost expression: P1 = 21 – 2(Q1 – Q2) P2 = 30 – 3(Q2 – Q1) TC = Q1 (1+ Q2) (I) Maximize the profit of the monopolist. Find optimal outputs, prices and profit. (Using the second order conditions prove that you have found the maximum profit.) (II) Now monopolist is restricted to produce a total of 10 units of either goods. (B) Maximize the profit of the monopolist using the method of Lagrange multipliers. What is the interpretation in this case of the value of the Lagrange multiplier?A monopolist faces a market demand curve given by: Q = 80 - p.Assume that the monopolist has a cost structure where total costs are described by: C(Q) = 0.25Q2 - 5Q + 1000.The monopoly will choose a price-quantity combination of (50 and 30) to maximize profit. The total profit is 425. Question 1: What output level would be socially optimal? What is the price at this output level, if all units are sold at the same price? What is the profit? What would the social welfare gain be from this output level compared to the outcome described above?Question 2: If government regulation forces the firm to set its price equal to its average cost of production, what will the output level be? What is the price at this output level, if all units are sold at the same price? What is the profit? What would the social welfare gain or loss be from this output level compared to the outcomes in (question 1) and where profit was 425, and price -quantaty combination (50 and 30)?
- A monopolist has a cost function c(q) = 5q+800 and faces aggregate demand q=3000 - 120p. Suppose first that monopolist sells q=400 units. The monopolist's revenue would be The monopolist profit would be The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand would be The consumer surplus would be Now suppose that the monopolist chooses q to maximize its profit. The monopolist's revenue would be The monopolist profit would be The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand would be The consumer surplus would beA monopolist faces a market demand curve given by: Q = 80 - pAssume that the monopolist has a cost structure where total costs are described by: C(Q) = 0.25Q2 - 5Q + 1000.Question a: What output level would be socially optimal? What is the price at this output level, if all units are sold at the same price? What is the profit? Question b: If government regulation forces the firm to set its price equal to its average cost of production, what will the output level be? What is the price at this output level, if all units are sold at the same price? What is the profit? What would the social welfare gain or loss be from this output level compared to the outcomes in (a)?Suppose a monopolist faces two markets with demand curves given by D1(p1) = 200 -p1 D2(p2) = 100 -2p2 Assume that the monopolist’s cost function is c(y) = y^2 1. What is the optimal prices for the monopolist if it can charge different prices in these markets? 2. What is the optimal price if the monopolist must charge the same price in each market? 3. How much total consumers’ surplus changes between the two separate prices and the same price cases? This is my fourth submission. no part of any previous solution was remotely right. I need this answered quickly. Yall have spent several days getting this wrong.

How much total consumers’ surplus changes between the two separate prices and the same price cases? Please answer this correctly, quickly,and legibly. This is my third submission of the same question.

How much total consumers’ surplus changes between the two separate prices and the same price cases? Can I please be assigned an actual expert? The previous four answers have been incorrect. The last several questions I have asked have been plagued by mediocrity and poor answers.A monopolist has a constant marginal cost of 12. Consumers' inverse demand is P = 32 - 4Q. The monopolist runs a persuasive advertising campaign that costs 26 and increases consumer demand to P = 37 - 4Q.
