Exercise 3.3. Suppose a profit-maximizing monopolist is producing 800 units of output and is charging a price of $40 per unit. a. If the elasticity of demand for the product is -2, find the marginal cost of the last unit produced. b. What is the firm's percentage markup of price over marginal cost? c. Suppose that the average cost of the last unit produced is $15 and the firm's fixed cost is $2000. Find the firm's profit.

53) A monopolist faces a straight-line demand curve and is currently producing an output level of 2000 units receiving $10 000 in total revenue. At an output of 1000 units the marginal revenue for this firm would be A) 0. B) $2.50. C) $5.00. D) $10.00. E) Impossible to tell with the given information.

Tangy Tangerines is a monopolistic firm in the market for tangerines. The following equations describe the demand for, and the cost of producing tangerines, where Q is output measured in thousand pounds, and P is price per pound. Demand: P 59-3Q Marginal Cost: MC = 3 + Q Total Cost: TC = 4 + 3Q+0.50² The monopolist will charge what price and earn what profit? Price $35 and Profit-$220 thousand. Price $19 and Profit $53 thousand. * Price $8 and Profit=$220 thousand. Price $19 and Profit= $14 thousand.

Exercise 3.8. Dayna's Doorstops, Inc. (DD) is a monopolist in the doorstop industry. Its cost is C = 100 - 5Q + Q², and demand is P = 55 - 2Q. a) What price should DD set to maximize profit? What output does the firm produce? How much profit and consumer surplus does DD generate? b) What would output be if DD acted like a perfect competitor and set MC = P? What profit and consumer surplus would then be generated? c) What is the deadweight loss from monopoly power in part (a)? d) Suppose the government, concerned about the high price of doorstops, sets a maximum price at $27. How does this affect price, quantity, consumer surplus, and DD's profit? What is the resulting deadweight loss? e) Now suppose the government sets the maximum price at $23. How does this decision affect price, quantity, consumer surplus, DD's profit, and deadweight loss? f) Finally, consider a maximum price of $12. What will this do to quantity, consumer surplus, profit, and deadweight loss?
