Consider the demand curve P = 200 - Q facing a monopolist. The monopolist's cost function is given by C = 40Q. The monopolist is currently producing Q = 90 and charging a price of P = $110 and making a profit of $6300. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? The monopolist is not maximizing profit. To maximize profit, the monopolist should produce Q = 80 and charge a price of $120. Doing so would generate profit of $6400. The monopolist is not maximizing profit. To maximize profit, the monopolist should produce Q = 80 and charge a price of $120. Doing so would generate a profit of $7200. The monopolist is maximizing profit. The monopolist is not maximizing profit. To maximize profit, the monopolist should produce Q = 100 and charge a price of $100. Doing so would generate a profit of $7000.

A movie theatre (a local monopolist) caters to students and other adults. The demand function for students is Qd = 2,700 – 150 P and the demand function for other adults is Qd = 2,500 – 50 P . Marginal cost is 2 per ticket. Assume that the monopolist can discriminate. What price willthe monopolist set for students? Pg = $ What price will the monopolist set for other adults? PA = 8 Section Attempt 1 of 1 Verify
Consider a discriminating monopolist that sells a product in two isolated geographical areas. The monopolist faces the following demand functions P1 = 100 - Q1 and P2 = 80 - Q2 and the cost function is C = 6(Q1 + Q2) The authorities in market 1 impose a tax of t per unit sold in market 1. How much tax revenue do the authorities in market 1 get?
Consider a monopolist that maximizes profits and charges all consumers the same price. The inverse demand function is P = 600 – Q2, where P is the price and Q is output. Marginal cost is always zero. What price and level of output will the monopolist choose?
Suppose that the monopolist can produce with total cost: TC = 10Q. Assume that the monopolist sells its goods in two different markets separated by some distance. The demand curves in the first market and the second market are given by Q₁ = 120-4P₁ and Q₂ = 240 - 2P₂. Suppose that consumers can mail the product from cheaper location to a more expensive location at a mailing cost $50. What would be the monopolist profit? $5450 $6050 O $6450 $5050
Suppose a monopolist faces a market demand that is the first two columns in the table below. Also, in the short run, assume that Total Fixed Cost equals $100 and the monopolist has Total Variable Cost according to the table. Find Total Revenue for each price and quantity combination, and then Marginal Revenue as price falls and quantity increases. Fill in the rest of the costs in the table and find profit at each price and quantity combination as the difference between Total Revenue and Total Cost. If profit is less than zero that indicates a loss. What is the maximum profit you found in this table? At what quantity and price combination is profit maximized for this monopolist? Next, verify this result by using Marginal Analysis to find the profit maximizing price and quantity combination. For each quantity, ask yourself if Marginal Revenue exceeds Marginal Cost. If it does, then profits would be increased by producing that quantity. As you go down the table to higher quantities, stop…
Consider a monopolist with a total cost function given as C(Q) = 1.5Q2 + 40Q that faces an inverse market demand function P(Q) = 280 − 0.5Q **Calculate the profit-maximizing quantity, price, and economic profits for this monopolist, with the government imposing a $20 per unit tax. Quantity: ? (Round your answer to two decimal places). Price: ? (Round your answer to two decimal places). Economic profits: $ ? (Round your answer to two decimal places).
Eyeglasslux is a single-price monopolist in the eye-glass frame market. It faces a Market demand given by Q=378-2P. Its Total Cost function is TC=6,422+20Q and Marginal Cost is MC=20. If the government imposes a price ceiling of $27, what is the monopolist's QUANTITY in the SHORT- run?
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 20. What is the monopolist's profit-maximizing quantity, price, and profit?
A movie monopolist sells to college students and other adults. The demand function for students is Q = 840 - 100P, and the demand function for other adults is Q = 1,600 - 100P. Costs is c(Q) = 12 +0.005Q2m per ticket, where Q=Qs+ QA- Instructions: Round your answers to 2 decimal places. a. What prices will the monopolist set when she can discriminate?

Consider a monopolist facing a market demand given by: P = 200 - 4Q. Where P is the price and Q is the quantity. The monopolist produces the good according to the cost function c(Q) = Q2 + 5. Determine the profit maximizing quantity and price the monopolist will offer in the market. Calculate the profits for the monopolist. Calculate the deadweight loss due to a monopoly. Illustrate this in a well labelled diagram.

Suppose that the monopalist can produce with total cost: TC = 100. Assume that the monopolist sells its goods in two different markets separated by some distance. The demand curves in the first market and the second market are given by Q,= 120 - 4P, and Q = 240 - 2P. Suppose that consumers can mail the product from cheaper location to a more expensive location at a mailing cost $24. What would be the monopolist profit? $6116 $4832 $5862 $5384
A monopolist knows there are two customers with different demand curves for two differently sized bags of potato chips. Customer S would only buy the small bag and has a willingness-to-pay given by P=160-2q (where P denotes the price and q denotes the quantity). Customer L would buy the large bag and has a willingness-to-pay given by P=200-q. The monopolist does not know who is customer S and who is customer L. Marginal cost of production is zero. BEFORE second degree price discrimination, and if the monopolist perfectly price discriminated the small bag, what is the price of the small bag?
