The inverse demand curve a monopoly faces is
p=120-2Q.
The firm's cost curve is
C(Q) = 40 +6Q.
What is the profit-maximizing solution?
The profit-maximizing quantity is 28.50. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
The profit-maximizing price is $63.00. (round your answer to two decimal places.)
What is the firm's economic profit?
The firm earns a profit of $ 1584.50. (round your answer to two decimal places.)
How does your answer change if C(Q)= 100+6Q? The increase in fixed cost
OA. has no effect on the equilibrium quantity, but the equilibrium price increases and profit decreases.
B. causes the firm to increase both the price and quantity, and profit increases.
OC. has no effect on the equilibrium quantity, but the equilibrium price increases and profit increases.
D. has no effect on the equilibrium price and quantity, but profit will decrease.

The computer industry is currently perfectly competitive and in equilibrium. Suppose all firms in the industry are taken over by a single firm that establishes a monopoly in the market. Assuming the monopoly maximizes profit, Select one: there will be no effect on the price of computers. Ob. the price of computers will increase from $400 to $600, but there will be no change in quantity demanded. Oc. the price of computers will be set equal to the marginal cost of computers. O d the price of computers will increase from $400 to $600, and the quantity demanded will fall from 400 to 200 per day.arrow_forwardHow do you find the profit maximizing PRICE (not level of output) on a graph for a monopoly with demand, marginal revenue, marginal cost, and average total cost curves.

- You are the manager of a monopoly. If the marginal cost of your product is $100 and the price elasticity of demand for your product is 3, then the markup of price over marginal cost you should set is equal to. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) (Round your answer to one decimal place.) If the price elasticity of demand is 6 rather than 3, the markup you should set is equal to Use your knowledge of the factors that affect the magnitude of the price elasticity of demand to explain the difference in the markups in your answers to the last two parts. O A. A smaller price elasticity of demand suggests that your good is a normal good, which allows you to set a higher markup. OB. A smaller price elasticity of demand suggests that there are many substitutes for your good, which allows you to set a higher markup. OC. A smaller price elasticity of demand suggests that there are few substitutes for a good, which allows you to set a higher markup. D.

The primary reason is that the monopoly firm charges a price that is greater than marginal cost at the profit maximizing quantity. Explain this statement with a graph. Specifically, explain how the profit maximizing quantity and price are determined.arrow_forwardSuppose a monopoly is producing at its profit-maximising (loss-minimizing) quantity, and the price corresponding to this quantity is below average total cost but above average variable cost.
