Question 3 A monopolist faces a demand curve given by P = 105 - 30 where P is the price of the good and Q is the quantity demanded. The marginal cost of production is constant and is equal to $15. There are no fixed costs of production. Hint: To answer the following questions, it may be helpful to draw a graph! What quantity should the monopolist produce in order to maximize profit? What price should the monopolist charge in...

Consider a market with two firms in Cournot (quantity) competition. Market demand is given by q(p) = a − p. Each firm faces a constant marginal cost of c. a. (15 points) Suppose that the government imposes a unit tax of δ, so that if a firm sells q units of the good, that firm owes q · δ to the government. Find the equilibrium quantity, price paid by consumers, consumer surplus, and tax revenue. Your answers should be functions...
