Albert and Johny are the only sellers of Motorbikes in Ireland. The inverse market demand function for motorbikes is P(Y)= 200- 2Y . Both firms have the same total cost function: T(C)= 12Y and the same marginal cost: M(C)=12. Suppose now that the two firms decide to act like a single monopolist.
What will the total quantity of Motorbikes sold in the market be and what will the equilibrium price be? Represent the profit maximisation problem on a graph and indicate the price and quantity at the equilibrium.
Calculate the total profit made by the two firms when they act like a monopoly. Compare it with the total profit they were making in the Stackelberg oligopoly.
For the two firms to be willing to agree to act as a monopoly, how should they split the quantity to produce between them? We assume that if they do not agree to act like a monopoly, then the market structure is the Stackelberg oligopoly studied above. We further assume that no money transfer is possible between the two…

Suppose that a firm with market power can perfectly price-discriminate and faces the demand function q = 400- 4P. The firm's marginal costs are given by MC(q) = 2q +0.12q 2. If the firm cannot price-discriminate, the profit-maximizing level of output is 20.27, and the optimal price is $94.9325
Identify consumer surplus and producer surplus in the market when the firm cannot price discriminate, assuming that the firm maximizes profits. Calculate the deadweight loss from market power. Round your answers to two decimal places.consumer surplus: $______producer surplus: $________dead weight loss: $_____
Kalamazoo Competition-Free Concrete (KCC) is a local monopolist of ready-mix concrete. Its annual demand function is
Q* = 10,000 – 200P,
where Pis the price, in dollars, of a cubic yard of concrete and Qis the number of cubic yards sold per year. Suppose that Kalamazoo's
marginal cost is $20 per cubic yard and fixed costs are sunk.
Instructions: Round your answers to 2 decimal places.
a. What is the deadweight loss from monopoly pricing?
b. Now suppose that fixed costs are avoidable and large enough such that the monopolist elects not to produce. What is the
deadweight loss from the monopoly not producing?
