A monopolist has a constant marginal cost of 12. Consumers' inverse demand is P = 32 - 4Q. The monopolist runs a persuasive advertising campaign that costs 26 and increases consumer demand to P = 37 - 4Q.
(a) What is the gain (or loss) in the firms profits caused by the advertising campaign?
b) When consumers' pre-advertising preferences are used to calculate welfare, what is the welfare gain (or loss) caused by the advertising campaign? Answer 2 Question 1
(c) When consumers' post-advertising preferences are used to calculate welfare, what is the welfare gain (or loss) caused by the advertising campaign? Answer 3 Question 1
Consider the revenue and cost conditions for a monopolist that are depicted in the figure.a) If price exceeds AVC, what is this producer's profit-maximizing (or loss-minimizing) output?b) What are the firm 's economic profits (or losses)?
A monopolist is deciding how to allocate output between two geographically separated markets (East Coast and Midwest). Demand and marginal revenue for the two markets are:
P1=20−Q1 MR1=20−2Q1
P2=30−2Q2 MR2=30−4Q2
The monopolist's total cost is C=5+5(Q1+Q2).
What are price, output, profits, marginal revenues, and deadweight loss if the monopolist can price discriminate? (round all answers to two decimal places)
In market 1, the price is $_____ and the quantity is _____
In market 2, the price is $______and the quantity is______
