Assume a monopolist’s only cost is constant marginal cost of $2. Further assume there are 10 consumers with individual inverse demand of p = 10 − 2q. (a) What is the profit maximising price and quantity for the monopolist. (b) What are the consumer and producer surplus at this outcome. (c) What is the dead weight loss (compared to the socially optimal output and price).

3. A monopolist can produce at constant average and marginal costs of AC = MC = 5. The firm faces a market demand curve given by Q = 55-P. (a) Calculate the profit-maximizing price-quantity combination for the monopolist. Also, calculate the monopolist's profits. Graph the relevant functions to illustrate these. (b) What output level would be produced by this industry under perfect competition (where price = marginal cost)? Indicate this on the graph. (c) Calculate the consumer surplus obtained by consumers in case (b). Show that this exceeds the sum of the monopolist's profits and the consumer surplus received in case (a). What is the value of the deadweight loss from monopolization? Indicate these on the graph.

1. A monopolist serves two individuals, A and B. Individual demands are defined by p = 7-9 and PB = 42q, respectively. The monopolist's total cost of production is defined by TC(q + 9) = 2(a +98). Suppose that price discrimination is not possible. a. C ) Sketch market demand and the monopolist's marginal revenue of output. b. ( Find (p, q) and indicate the solution on the graph. State whether anyone is excluded.

pls help asap on both

2. A monopolist faces demand p = 10 - Q and has costs TC = 10 + 2q. a. Provide expressions for marginal revenue and marginal cost. b. Maximize the firm's profit to determine the equilibrium price, quantity, and profit. c. The monopolist faces the prospect of entry by competitor with the same cost function. If the firm enters, they will compete by choosing quantities. Does the monopolist need to worry about this entry threat? Explain. d. The government is considering a subsidy of 4 for all firms in this industry. Should the monopolist support or oppose this policy? Explain.

1. Refer to the figure below when the firm is a monopolist. Price P MC L K J ATC D T W Quaxtity \MR a) If the monopolist maximizes profit, how many units will it produce? b) What price will the monopolist charge? c) What area measure the monopolist's profit? d) What level of output would be socially efficient? 2. A Monopolist is facing a demand schedule that is shown in the following table. Quantity Total Revenue Average Revenue Marginal Revenue Price $35 $32 1 2 3 $29 14 $26 15 $23 $20 $17 $14 6 7 18 19 $11 10 $8 a) Fill out the rest of the table. b) Assume this monopolist's marginal cost is constant at $11. What quantity of output (Q) will it produce and what price (P) will it charge? ------

Assume inverse demand function for game console in an imaginary country is P=1200-4Q and the total cost function is TC=400+4Q². Government put $120 of specific tax on production. a. If the market is competitive what is the incidence of tax on consumer? b. If the market is monopolist what is the incidence of tax on consumer?

1 Suppose that a monopolist has a patent for widgets and the market demand curve Q(P) is:Q(P) = 60 – 2P,where P is the price in dollars and Q is quantity. a. Solve for the inverse demand P(Q) curve by solving the demand curve for P in terms of Q. b. Using your answer from (a), express the monopolist’s total revenue in terms of Q as TR(Q) = QP(Q). c. Calculate the monopolist’s marginal revenue MR(Q) by differentiating the total revenue you found in theprevious step: MR(Q) = dTR(Q) / dQ. PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK

2. A monopolist produces its output in two factories, whose cost curves are given by C1 (q1) = 10q and C2 (q2) demand for the firm's product is given by P = 700 – 5Q where Q is the total quantity sold by the monopolist. (a) On a diagram, illustrate the monopolist's decision about how much to produce at each factory and overall and the price to charge. Briefly explain your diagram. (b) Numerically calculate the monopolist's optimal choices for qı, q2, Q, and P. (c) Suppose that labor costs increase in Factory 1 but not in Factory 2. How should the firm change (i.e. raise, lower, or leave unchanged) each of the values you found in (b)? Your answer should be qualitative, not quantitative. 10q3 where q1 and q2 are the amounts produced at each factory. The diagram might be useful but is not necessary.
