Explain how price discrimination increase the monopoly profit and what are effects to welfare of consumers and buyers?
?There are prime examples about duality where one producer waits for another to produce and change their pricing. For example, Boeing and Airbus. Airbus announced that they will start producing the A380 which is one of the largest passenger carriers in the world. Boeing immediately announced the production of Boeing dream liner 787 which is comparable to the A380. When the prices came out, A380 were forced to reduce their prices to be close to the 787. The question I want to ask is why not have one of the companyâ€™s focus their efforts on the smaller jets and leave the other market to the other competitor? Doesn’t that allow them to be monopolists in their fields and eventually increase the prices?
Spike the Bulldog is the only seller of Zagopoly board games in Spokane. The inverse demand curve for this game is given by P = 40 – 0.5Q, where Q is in hundreds of games per month. Spike's marginal cost of producing board games is 7 + 0.1Q. a. If Spike cannot price-discriminate, what is his profit-maximizing level of output? What is his profit-maximizing price? b. How much consumer surplus will buyers of the board game receive? How much producer surplus will end up in Spike's pockets? How much deadweight loss is created by the board game monopoly? c. Suppose Spike is a magnificent salesman, able to discern perfectly his customers' willingness to pay. If he leverages this information to begin perfectly price discriminating, how many board games will he sell? d. How much surplus will buyers receive from a perfectly price- discriminating Spike? How much producer surplus will Spike capture? What will the deadweight loss due to monopoly be?

What gives firms market power in an industry characterized by Monopolistic Competition?
Two medical laboratories (lab 1 and lab 2) join forces to develop a new antibiotic. Each laboratory must decide how many researchers to assign to the joint project. The more researchers they assign to this project, the faster they will be able to develop and supply the new medicine. But, at the same time, other projects will be left on stand-by as they reallocate their staff to the joint project. Laboratory 1 has slightly more expertise in the science that is required for the antibiotic. This is captured assuming that each scientist it assigns to the project can contribute slightly more than those assigned by laboratory 2. Specifically, estimations show that when lab 1 assigns r, researchers and lab 2 assigns r2 researchers to the project, it leads to an overall revenue worth €X which is given by X = 120(2r, + r2). Estimations also show that laboratory i faces a cost from having to leave some projects on stand-by which is given by 3(ri)².
If the price is greater than Actual total cost, does the monopolistic firm makes a profit, loss, or break-even?
The market demand curve for a pair of Bertrand duopolists is given as P= 34-3Q, where Q= Q1+ Q2. The constant per unit marginal cost is 16 for each duopolist. Find the Bertrand equilibrium price, total quantity, and total profits. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places (e.g.., 32.16). Enter zero wherever required.)

Please read the following article from The Atlantic on the proliferation of price discrimination for online shopping https://goo.gl/EGFynW A.) The article notes that we are moving toward a situation in which perfect price discrimination is no longer “only a classroom thought experiment.” Suppose perfect price discrimination were to become a reality. What would this imply as far as consumer surplus, producer surplus, and market surplus in the market for online retail? B.) The article references a study showing that by using big data online firms are able to boost profits. When firms engage in price discrimination and experience an increase in profits, does this imply that consumers are made worse off as a result? Explain. C.) Do you agree with the author’s belief that the proliferation of price discrimination “makes suckers of us all”? Explain. D.) Do you consider the increased price discrimination in recent years as a net positive or a net negative to society? Explain
