A monopoly sells in two countries . The demand curves in the two countries are p1 = 12−q1, and p2 = 48−q2. The monopoly’s MC is $4. Now, suppose a long-running trade war between the two countries comes to an end, allowing resales between the two countries. The monopoly is now forced to charge the same price in both countries. The monopoly would have two options: (1) Sell at a price low enough (lower than 12), so that consumers from...
A monopoly sells its good in the U.S. and Japanese markets. The American inverse demand function is: Pa=100-Qa and the Japanese inverse demand function is pj=90-2Qj where both prices, Pa and Pj, are measured in dollars. The firm's marginal cost of production is m = $25 in both countries. If the firm can prevent resales, what price will it charge in both markets? (Hint: The monopoly determines its optimal (monopoly) price in each country separately because customers cannot resell the...

A monopoly book publisher with a constant marginal cost (and average cost) of MC = 1 sells a novel in only two countries and faces a linear inverse demand function of p1 = 6 - .5Q1 in Country 1 and p2 = 9 – Q2 in Country 2. What price would a profit-maximizing monopoly charge in each country with and without a ban against shipments between the countries?
Question 5 Consider a firm that is a monopolist and sells in two distinct markets. The demand curves in the two markets are: P1 = 160 -8Q1 P2 = 80-2Q2 The marginal cost curves is 5+ Q where Q is the firms entire output destined for either market. What pricing policy would you suggest? How many units of output should it sell in each market?

2 Monopoly (9 points) Silecro has a monopoly for silent velcro. Their demand is p 300-2Q and their cost is C(Q)- 1922 +60Q+Q2. (a) Find the profit-maximizing quantity and price. (2) (b) What fraction of the price is markup, what fraction is cost? (2) firm, HipStore?, sells indie music products: vinyl, concert tickets, merchandise etc. The bought up by a bands under contract only last...
Consider two countries and a single good produced competitively. At Home, the supply and demand curves for this good are given by the following expressions where q' is quantity supplied and is quantity demanded: q"(p) = 100 + 2002 (P) = 1900 - 400p. In the foreign country, these curves are given by the following expressions where asterisks denote that they are foreign q** (P) = 100p q4*(p) = 600 -200p. 1. Solve for the closed economy (autarky) equilibrium price...
X Text Question 4.3 Question Help Suppose a nonlinear price discriminating monopoly, can set three prices, depending on the quantity a consumer purchases. The firm's profit is T=P1 (Q1) +P2 (Q2-Q1) +P3 (Q3 - Q2) – mQ3, where p, is the high price charged on the first Q, units (first block), P, is a lower price charged on the next Q, -Q, units, P3 is the lowest price charged on the Q3-Q, remaining units, Q, is the total number of...
1) A monopolist firm sells its output in two regions: Califomia and Florida. The demand curves for each market are QF15-PF OF and Qc are measured in 1000s of units, so you may get decimal values for Q. If P-$10 and Q-1, the profit of S10 that you calculate is actually $10,000). Qc 12.5 - 2 Pc The monopoly's cost function is C 5+3Q5+3(QF+Qc) First, we'll assume that the monopoly can only charge one price in both markets. a) Calculate...
