A monopolist has a cost function given by C(y)=y2 and faces a demand curve given by P(y) = 120-y. 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.
Money cannot serve as a medium of exchange unless it also serves as a store of value. Is this statement true or false? Explain.
A2) Compute the point elasticity of demand.
A monopolist faces a demand curve Q(p) = 13p-4. The marginal cost (MC) is constant at 4 and there is no fixed cost. What is the monopolist's margin m = p-MC? Р (a) m (b) m || - m = 62 334 4 (d) m = 1/1/5 (e) None of the above.

A monopolist sells its product in two di§erent countries. The demand in country 1 is Q1 = 50-0.5P1, whereas the demand in country 2 is Q2 = 25-0.25P2. The firm's cost function is C(Q)=10+0.5Q2, where Q = Q1 + Q2.a) Calculate the amount of the product that the profit maximizing monopolist should sell in each country. Q1*=?, Q2*=?b) The determinantal test suggests that the firm's profit function (which one is correct) is locally concave around the critical point, but not elsewhere is globally concave is locally convex around the critical point, but not elsewhere is globally convex has a saddle point at the critical point

A monopolist has discovered that the inverse demand function of a person with income Y for the monopolist’s product is P = 0.002Y-Q where P is the price, Y the income, and Q is the output. The monopolist can observe the incomes of its consumers and hence vary its price accordingly. The monopolist has a total cost function C(Q) = 100Q. A. Calculate the profit maximising price as a function of the consumer’s income Y carefully explaining all the steps in the derivation of the formula. B. A monopolist has a constant marginal cost of £2 per unit and no fixed costs. He faces two separate markets in the United States and in the UK. The goods sold in one market are never resold in the other. He sets one price P1 for the US market and another price P2 for the UK market (both measured in £). The demand in the United States is given by Q1=7,000-700P1 and the demand in the UK is given by Q2=1,200-200P1. Calculate the profit maximising output produced and price charged in each country by the…

(Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) The company's profit-maximizing price is $ (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) The monopolist's profit is $ (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) Suppose the government imposes a specific tax of $150 per unit on the monopolist. To maximize profit, the monopolist should now produce units of output. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) When the tax is imposed, the monopolist's profit-maximizing price becomes $ (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) As a result of the tax, the monopolist raises its price by
4) A monopolist faces a market inverse demand function: P = 250 – 5Q and marginal cost function: ATC = MC = 10. Answer the following. If the monopolist employs a single price strategy, what is the optimal quantity produced and price charged. What is the market up and contribution margin from the strategy in part a if Ed = -1.0833. If other firms trying to enter this market had slightly higher cost structures, what would be a good price & quantity mix to limit entry of competition and why (no math needed). If the monopolist could create a bundled good instead of the strategy in part a, what price would it charge and how many units would be sold in the bundle. What are the profits from part a & part d? Which pricing strategy is preferred. EC: Briefly explain why a firm that offers a buy 2 get the 3rd free deal, does not just offer that same product at a 33.33% discount of the normal stated price. Need help with number 2.
Suppose a monopolist faces a demand equation given by P=20-Q, and a marginal revenue equation given by MR = 20-2Q, and MC=AVC=ATC=$6. What is the deadweight loss associated with the monopolist? a) $8.5 b) $33.25 c) $24.5 d) $12.5
2. A monopolist faces a representative consumer who acts as a price taker and has the demand function as Q(Q) = 200 – 2P. Suppose the monopolist bears the total cost C(Q) = 100 + 20Q + when producing Q units. a. Find the producer surplus of the monopoly if it exercises perfectly price discrimination. b. Find the producer surplus of the monopoly under the optimal two-block pricing. c. If the monopoly sells with two-part tariff T = A + pQ to the consumer, find its optimal A and p.
