Assume the following equations describe the conditions for a monopoly: Qd = 2,000 - 100P TC = 3,500 + 5q + .005q2 Where Qd is the quantity demanded, P is the commodity's price in dollars, TC is the firm's total cost in dollars and q is the quantity of output produced. Based upon these equations, answer the following questions: a. What is the firm's equation for total revenue expressed as a function of quantity? b. What is the firm's equation for marginal revenue expressed as a function of quantity? What is the firm's equation for marginal cost expressed as a function of quantity? c. What is the firm's profit maximizing quantity of output? d. What price will the firm charge for the commodity? e. What would be the socially optimal quantity of output? f. What price would regulators have to establish in order to have the firm produce the socially optimal quantity of output?
Show that if a firm is a natural monopoly, a government policy that forces marginal cost pricing will result in losses for the firm.
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 figure to the right shows the market demand for electricity and the average total cost and marginal cost of producing electricity for a utility company. Suppose the utility company is a regulated natural monopoly. If government regulators want to achieve economic efficiency, then they will regulate a price of $ per kilowatt hour. (Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to two decimal places) Now suppose instead that government regulators want to eat the lowest price such that the utility company will not suffer a loss so that it will continue to produce in the long run. If so, then i government regulators will set a price of $ per kilowatt hour.

A monopolist faces two markets (think of it as a domestic market and a foreign market). The demand functions of the two markets are respectively: Q 1 =100 - P 1 ; Q 2 =180 - P 2 The cost function of the monopoly firm is: TC = 40Q. Q1: If this firm charges a uniform price, what price should maximize its profit? What is the total profit? Q2: If this firm charges a Third Degree Price Discrimination, what is the equilibrium price for each market in order to maximize profits? And what is the profit of each market and the total profit?
