For each of the problems below solve for monopoly quantity, monopoly price, total revenue, total cost, profit, and dead weight loss.
Qd = 100 – 0.5p TC = 2Q2
Qd = 500 – 0.2p TC = Q2 + 100Q
Qd = 30 – 0.6p TC = Q2 + 10Q +100
QD = 1000 – 0.25p TC = 2Q2 + 25Q + 100
Monopolist maximizes profit at MR = MC
1.
P = 200 - 2Q
TR = 200Q - 2Q2
MR = 200 - 4Q
Total cost, TC = 2Q2
MC= 4Q
Equate MR to MC
200 - 4Q = 4Q
=> 8Q = 200
=> Qm = 25 units
=> Pm = $ 150 per unit
TR = 25 × 150 = $ 3750
TC = 2× 25^2 = $ 1250
Profit = TR -TC = 3750 - 1250 = $ 2500
DWL = (1/2)×(Pm -MC) ×(Qp-Qm)
= (1/2)×(150-133.33)×(33.33-25)
= $ 69.42
Note: Qp is output under perfect competition. P = MC
200 - 2Q = 4Q
6Q = 200
Qp = $ 100/3
