A monopolist with constant marginal costs faces a demand curve with a constant elasticity of demand and does not practice price discrimination. True or False: If the government imposes a tax of $1 per good sold by the monopolist, the monopolist will increase his price by more than $1 per unit. True False

This is part 1 of a multi-part question. A monopolist faces the demand curve Q = 144 / P2, where Q is the quantity demanded and P is price. Its average variable cost is AVC = Q1/2 and its fixed cost is 25. 1. Find the monopolist's profit-maximizing quantity. (Round to at least 2 decimal places.)2. Find the monopolist's profit-maximizing price
The inverse demand function of a monopolist is p(y) = 100 – y, and total costs is C(y)= y2 +10. a. Find the profit-maximizing level of production and the maximum profit. b. Find the price-elasticity of the demand at the profit-maximizing quantity.
Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from selling fewer units of output. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling each unit of output at a higher price. 100 90 Revenue Lost 80 70 60 Revenue Gained Demand 30 20 10 + 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 QUANTITY (Units) This monopolist's marginal revenue equals $ (Hint: Enter the negative sign, if necessary.)

Suppose a monopolist's profit-maximizing output is 400 units per week and that the firm sells its output at a price of $40 per unit. The firm has total costs of $8,000 per week. Assume the monopolist is maximizing its profit and earns $20 per unit from the sale of the last unit produced each week. Instructions: Enter your answers as a whole number. a. What are the firm's weekly economic profits? b. What is the firm's marginal cost? c. What is the firm's average total cost? A

As a monopolist, Nancy must contend with the market demand curve shown below. Would her exclusivity result in a deadweight loss? Explain in detail.
A monopolist sells 15 holiday greeting cards for $5.00 apiece. If the monopolist desires to sell a 16th card, then the price must be lowered to $4.90. The marginal revenue earned from selling the additional card is $
The graph below represents the demand graph of a monopolist. The firm uses price discrimination to increase its profits. What is the change in the deadweight loss due to the price discrimination? -$30 $30 -$60 $60 Indeterminate
In order for a monopolist to sell a quantity of 12 units, the price must be $6. Marginal revenue at this quantity will be: Group of answer choices > $6 and < $12 = $6 < $6 > $12
Suppose that a monopolist has a constant marginal cost curve. That is, for each unit of output that the monopolist produces, it costs an additional $30. The monopolist's marginal revenue is MR=120−6Q, where Q is the quantity produced. The demand curve is P=120−3Q. What is the monopolist's profit-maximizing output and price?
Review the graph at right for a nonlinear price discriminating monopolist relying on two prices, $80 and $60. The firm charges a price of $80 for the first 20 units, then a price of $60 for the next 20 units. How much is the total consumer surplus in the market with this form of price discrimination? $(round your answer to the nearest penny) How much is the total producer surplus in the market with this form of price discrimination? $(round your answer to the nearest penny) Price 1 100 90 80 70- 60 50 40 30 20 10- 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 Quantity MC D 90 100
