DD is a monopolist firm. Its cost is
C=100-5Q+Q2 and demand is
P=55-2Q.
What price should DD set to maximize profit and what output
does the firm produce? How much is the profit?
What would be output if DD acted like a perfect competitor and
set MC=P ? What is the profit?
What is the deadweight loss from monopoly power in (a). Show
graphically
Suppose the government, concerned about the high price of DD,
sets a maximum price for DD’s product at k27. How does this affect
price, quantity, consumer surplus and DD’s profit? What is the
resulting deadweight loss? (5 marks
The total cost (TC) and inverse demand equations for a
monopolist are: TC=100+5Q^2 P=200?5Q
a. What is the profit-maximizing quantity?
b. What is the profit-maximizing price?
c. What is the monopolist's maximum profit?
The demand equation for a product sold by a monopolist is
Q=25?0.5P TC=225+5Q+0.25Q^2
a. Calculate the profit-maximizing price and quantity.
b. What is the monopolist's profit?

explain
The market demand function for a monopolist is p=58-2Q
and its cost is C(Q)=10Q.
a) Determine the monopolist’s price and quantity in
equilibrium.
b) Suppose now that a competition authority forces
the monopolist to employ marginal cost pricing. Determine the price
and the quantity with this new pricing scheme.
c) Compute and compare the consumer surplus,
the firm’s profit, and the social welfare under unrestricted
monopoly and under marginal cost pricing. What is the deadweight
loss due to unrestricted monopoly pricing?
Industry demand is given by :
P = 100-2Q
The total cost for the individual firm of which there
are 4, is given by:
TCi = 10qi + qi^2
If the 4 firms form a cartel what will be the price and
output if
the cartel is centralized and
the cartel is decentralized
As we know cheating is a problem with cartels what would
happen to price and output if the cartel breaks down?
Suppose a first degree price discriminating monopolist has an
inverse demand curve of P=100-2Q and a marginal cost curve of
MC=10+4Q. Assume fixed costs are zero. What is the firm's maximum
profit?
The inverse market demand for clothing is P=48–2Q and the cost
function is C=Q2.
1 Calculate the optimal profit of a
monopolist.
Assume now that the monopolist can
choose whether to continue operating in the market as a monopolist
or set up two branches that operate in the market as Cournot
duopolists (duopolist branching). Each branch will face the same
quadratic cost function as the original monopolist.
2 Calculate the optimal profit under
the duopoly branching. Will the firm prefer...
A monopolist is facing the following demand curve P = 50 − 5Q.
The monopolist has the following marginal cost MC = 10. The
monopolist knows exactly the willingness to pay of each individual
consumer and charge consumers individual prices. Calculate the
monopolist’s profit (assuming FC=0).
(a) π=40
(b) π=80
(c) π = 160
(d) None of the above.
Suppose a monopolist faces consumer demand given by P=500-5Q
with a constant marginal cost of $20 per unit (where marginal
cost equals average total cost. assume the firm has no fixed
costs). If the monopoly can only charge a single price, then it
will earn profits of?
5. A monopolist faces a demand curve P = 64−2Q. His marginal
cost is MC = 16.
(a) Draw a graph to illustrate and calculate the profit
maximizing output and price.
(b) Calculate the efficient level of output and the DWL.
(c) Suppose the government gave the monopolist a subsidy of $4
per unit produced. Compute the profit maximizing output level and
the deadweight loss associated with this new output. Explain
intuitively why the DWL has changed.
The market demand curve is P = 90 − 2Q, and each firm’s total cost function is C = 100 + 2q2
(a) (7 points) Suppose there is only one firm in the market. Find the market price, quantity, and the firm’s profit.
(b) (5 points) Show the equilibrium on a diagram, depicting the demand function D (with the vertical and horizontal intercepts), the marginal revenue function MR, and the marginal cost function MC. On the same diagram, mark the...
