Consider the case of a monopolist who charges the same price to all consumers. The demand for the good is given by Q=1282168p-7, where Q denotes the quantity demanded at price p. The firm's total cost of producing Q units is given by the function C(Q) = 7 Q What is the profit maximizing price for the monopolist? (As usual, you must enter a number below, not a ratio, not an expression with symbols..., just a number.)
1) Suppose that a monopolist producing bicycles can divide the aggregate demand into two groups: The domestic market and the foreign market. The demand curve for the monopolist's product in the domestic market is yı=1200-10p¡ and the demand foreign market is y2=800-10p2. The monopolist's total cost function is given by C(y)= 50y where y=yi+y2. curve for the monopolist's product in the a) Assume that the monopolist does not practice price discrimination. Calculate his/her profit-maximizing price-quantity combination and the maximum profit. b) Assume that the monopolist practices third-degree price discrimination. Calculate his/her profit-maximizing price-quantity combination and the maximum profit in each market.
can some one help me with this question? The monopoly cost function is given TC = 500 + 12 × Q + 0.5 × Q^2 and the demand function for the products of this monopoly in two markets: Q1 = 400 - 2 × P1, Q2 = 1250 - 5 × P2. There are no other sales markets. Find the volumes of sales and prices in each of the two markets at which the total profit of the monopoly will be maximized.
Q1. Consider a monopolist which produces two different products, each having the following demand functions: - P₁, 91 = 14- 1 92 = 24- P2. where 9₁ and 92 represent the output levels of product 1 and product 2 and p₁ and p2 represent their prices. The monopolist's joint cost function is given as C (91, 92) = 91 +59192 +92². Write out the monopolist's profit function.
A monopolist book publisher with a constant marginal cost of 2 and no fixed costs sells novels in only two countries. Assume the inverse demand curve in country 1 is given by P₁ = 10-Q and the inverse demand curve in country 2 is given by P₂ = 18-Q Assuming book shipments across countries are banned so that price discrimination occurs. What is the equilibrium price and quantity of books sold by the monopolist in country 1? Continuing to assume price discrimination, what is the equilibrium price and quantity of books sold by the monopolist in country 2? If book imports are permitted in both countries so that price discrimination is impossible, what is the equilibrium price and quantity sold in the two countries combined? P=1, Q=16 P=1, Q=12 P=4, Q=8 11 P=6, Q=6 P=4. Q=14 P=6, Q=12 P=8, Q=10 P=10, Q=8 P=6, Q=20 P=7, Q=20 P=10, Q=8 P=12, Q=6
Suppose a monopoly's price elasticity of demand equals-5 and the marginal cost of production equals $500.00. The profit-maximizing price is $ 625 (Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to two decimal places.) What will be the firm's markup? When maximizing profit, the monopoly's markup is______percent. (Round your response to the nearest percent.)
For the monopoly represented by the figure to the right, at what quantity is its revenue maximized? (Hint: Revenue is maximize where MR = 0.) Why is revenue maximized at a larger quantity than profit? Show the revenue curve. In the figure to the right, let D be demand and MR be marginal revenue. The quantity at which revenue is maximized is Q = 10 units. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.) Revenue is maximized at a larger quantity than profit because A. costs are decreasing in output. OB. marginal costs can be negative. C. marginal revenue is decreasing in output. OD. D. revenue is greater than profit. OE. profit is decreasing in output. Using the three-point curved line drawing tool, graph the monopoly's revenue curve. Label this curve 'R.'

Suppose that the monopolist can produce with total cost: TC= 200. 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 = 240-41, and Q₂ = 360-27. 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? $13844 $14896 $11516 $12672
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
Suppose Bang Bang is the only local swimming pool. She believes that there are 10 potential customers. Each of them has an identical demand function of QI = 250 – 0.02P, with QI as the unit of services of each customer. She operates with a constant variable cost of $500 per unit of service. If Bang Bang is a single price monopoly, calculate the price she should charge for her service. Show your calculations.
Now suppose due to some outside reason, the monopolist must set a uniform price, i.e., p1 = p2 = pu in the problem before. Write down the monopolist’s problem and solve for the optimal price. (Hint: The aggregate demand is now q = 33 − 2pu). At the price computed above, compute the optimal quantities sold in each market, i.e., compute and and keep in mind that optimal quantity cannot be less than zero. Compute also the profit earned in each market at the uniform price. Compute consumer surplus and consumer surplus per capita in each market. If you were a lobbyist for consumers in market 1, would you be in favor of price discrimination or of uniform pricing? Alternatively, if you were a lobbyist for consumers in market 2, what type of pricing would you prefer? Now put yourself in the shoes of the CEO whose primary responsibility is to the share holders. If some legislation is passed that either explicitly forbids price discrimination or makes it nearly impossible to do so, what…
