Is a monopoly always undesirable? With a diagram.

A monopolist serves a market with five potential buyers, each of whom would buy at most one piece of the monopolist's good. Anna would be willing to pay up to £80 for it, Bob up to £90, Chloe up to £100, Dave up to £110 and Elizabeth up to £120. The monopolist's variable cost function is given in below table. Quantity Variable Costs 1 3. 4. 40 90 150 220 300 Price Marg. Revenue a) Indicate in the table which price the monopolist would want to charge for each given quantity. b) Find the marginal revenue for each quantity. c) Find the monopolist's profit maximising price under the assumption that he wants to produce anything at all. d) How large can the monopolist's fixed costs be such that he still wants to start producing at 1.

Is a monopoly always undesirable? Support your answer with a diagram.

Suppose a monopolist sells a product to faculty members and students on the campus.  If the firm sets a single price, the monopolist produces 5000 units and sell them at the price of $3 per unit.  At this price, the price elasticity of demand for faculty member is -2.5. And the price elasticity of demand for students is -1.5.  The monopolist is considering whether she should set different prices for the faculty members and students and asks for your advice.  The monopolist is thinking about charging faculty members a 10% higher price.  The quantity demanded by the faculty members would fall by  %. The monopolist is thinking about charging students a 10% higher price.  The quantity demanded by the students would fall by  %. Who should the monopolist charge more? mention faculty and students and how much

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion  A monopolist faces market demand given by P = 1000 – 10Q. For this market, MR = 1000 – 20Q, MC = 100 + 10Q and ATC = 100 + 5Q. If the monopolist does not price discriminate, what is the value of consumer surplus?

The diagram below shows a monopolist’s marginal cost scheduleand the demand curve. Find and depict the following items within the diagram and briefly explainhow you found them: a) The efficient (i.e., total surplus maximising) quantity. b) The monopolist’s profit maximising quantity. c) The monopolist’s profit maximising price. d) The monopolist’s optimal profit. e) The deadweight loss.

A student argues, "it a monopolist finds a way of producing a good at lower cost, he will not lower his price. Because he is a monopolist, he will keep the price and the quantity the same and just increase his profit." Do you agree? Use the line drawing tool to graph a new marginal cost ourve reflecting the lower cost of production. Label this Ine MC, MC, Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. According to your graph, when producing at lower cost, the proft-maximizing price is unchanged lower MR higher Quantity unchanged Price and cost
