a. Solve for the optimal output to produce at each plant (Q1*, Q2*).
b. Given this output, what is the firm’s price and maximum profit?
c. Suppose the monopolist is now facing a capacity constraints at plant 2. Due to a labor dispute, there are only enough labor hours to produce 70 units at plant 2. How will this constraint impact the firm’s decision of Q1*, Q2*, price and profit?

Question 9 Suppose that a monopolist faces a demand curve given by P 120-2Q. A monopolist producing only one product has two plants with the following marginal cost functions: MC1 20+2Q1 and MC2-10+502, where MCi and MC2 are the marginal costs in plants 1 and 2, and Q1 and Q2 are the levels of output in each plant, respectively. (a) Find the monopolist's optimal total output (quantity) and price. b) Find the optimal...

Suppose a firm’s inverse demand curve is given by P=120-.5Q and its cost equation is C=420+60Q+Q2. Find the firm’s optimal quantity, price and profit (1) by using the profit and marginal profit equation and (2) by setting MR equal to MC. Also provide a graph of MR and MC. Suppose instead that the firm can sell any and all of its output at the fixed market price P=120. Find the firm’s optimal output.

A monopolist's inverse demand function is P= 150 – 3Q. The company produces output at two facilities; the marginal cost of producing at facility 1 is MC1(Q1) = 6Q1, and the marginal cost of producing at facility 2 is MC2(Q2) = 2Q2: a. Provide the equation for the monopolist's marginal revenue function. (Hint: Recall that Q1 + Q2 = Q.) MR(Q) = 150-C6 Q4-06 Q2 b. Determine the profit-maximizing level of output for each facility.

Suppose two firms compete by selecting quantities q1 and q2, respectively, with the market price given by p = 1000-3q1 -3q2. Firm 1 (the incumbent) is already in the market. Firm 2 (the potential entrant) must decide whether or not to enter and, if she enters, how much to produce. First the incumbent commits to its production level q2. The potential entrant, having seen q1, decides whether to enter the industry. If firm 2 chooses to enter, then it selects...
