A monopolist has a cost function c(q) = 5q+800 and faces aggregate demand q=3000 - 120p. Suppose first that monopolist sells q=400 units. The monopolist's revenue would be The monopolist profit would be The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand would be The consumer surplus would be Now suppose that the monopolist chooses q to maximize its profit. The monopolist's revenue would be The monopolist profit would be The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand would be The consumer surplus would be
On the market of good Y there are 100 identical consumers. Each consumer has a demand function q=360-2p Good Y is produced by a monopolist, which is operating with a constant marginal cost of 50 and a fixed cost of 2000. Suppose the monopolist implements a two-part tariff pricing strategy. Calculate the maximum profit obtainable. Your Answer: Answer
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
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
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?
A monopolist has discovered that the inverse demand function of a person with income Y for the monopolist’s product is P = 0.002Y-Q where P is the price, Y the income, and Q is the output. The monopolist can observe the incomes of its consumers and hence vary its price accordingly. The monopolist has a total cost function C(Q) = 100Q. A monopolist has a constant marginal cost of £2 per unit and no fixed costs. He faces two separate markets in the United States and in the UK. The goods sold in one market are never resold in the other. He sets one price P1 for the US market and another price P2 for the UK market (both measured in £). The demand in the United States is given by Q1=7,000-700P1 and the demand in the UK is given by Q2=1,200-200P2. Calculate the profit maximising output produced and price charged in each country by the price-discriminating monopolist and comment in which country the price charged is higher and by how much. Explain if your answer above is as expected by…

Suppose a monopolist faces two markets with demand curves given by D1(p1) = 200 -p1 D2(p2) = 100 -2p2 Assume that the monopolist’s cost function is c(y) = y^2 1. What is the optimal prices for the monopolist if it can charge different prices in these markets? 2. What is the optimal price if the monopolist must charge the same price in each market? 3. How much total consumers’ surplus changes between the two separate prices and the same price cases? This is my fourth submission. no part of any previous solution was remotely right. I need this answered quickly. Yall have spent several days getting this wrong.
Suppose a monopolist faces two markets with demand curves given by D1(p1) = 200 -p1 D2(p2) = 100 -2p2 Assume that the monopolist’s cost function is c(y) = y^2 1. What is the optimal prices for the monopolist if it can charge different prices in these markets? 2. What is the optimal price if the monopolist must charge the same price in each market? 3. How much total consumers’ surplus changes between the two separate prices and the same price cases? Can I please be assigned an actual expert? The previous four answers have been incorrect. The last several questions I have asked have been plagued by mediocrity and poor answers.

How much total consumers’ surplus changes between the two separate prices and the same price cases? Please answer this correctly, quickly,and legibly. This is my third submission of the same question. The first one was wrong and unredeemable the second one was not legible.
