A risk-neutral monopoly must set output before it knows the market price. There is a 50 percent chance the firm's demand curve will be P = 40 -Q and a 50 percent chance it will be P = 60 - Q. The marginal cost of the firm is MC = 3Q. The expected profit-maximizing price is Multiple Choice O O $10. $20. $30. $40.

A price discriminating monopoly sells in two markets whose demand scehules are: p1=12.5-0.0625q1 , p2=7.2-0.002q2 and faces the horizontal marginal cost schedule MC=5. what price and output should it choose for each market?
Market Demand is given in the table below. By now, I should not have to say, only integer quantities are allowed when we have discrete data like this.

The supply curve for a monopoly is: O the portion of the marginal cost curve that lies above the average fixed cost curve. the portion of the marginal cost curve that lies above the average variable cost curve. Ononexistent. O the portion of the marginal cost curve that lies above the average total cost curve.
Consider a monopoly market in which the initial price is $40K, the initial quantity is 20, and the elasticity of demand is -2.5. A government program directly supplies an additional 4 units at the market price. For example, this is surplus equipment being auctioned to the highest bidder. a) Estimate MC. Thereafter assume it is constant. b) Use the initial equilibrium and the elasticity of demand to approximate the initial demand curve. c) Approximate the monopolist’s demand after the program provides 4 units. d) Estimate the new price, the new quantity provided by the monopolist, and the new quantity consumed by customers. e) Sketch the situation. f) Estimate the impact on CS, PS, GS, and SS assuming the METB is 0.25.
