The demand curve, marginal revenue and marginal cost curve for macadamia nuts are given as follows: P= 360 - 4Q M R = 360 - 8Q MC = 40 a) What level of output maximizes the sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus? b) What is the profit maximizing level of output? c) At the profit maximizing level of output, what is the level of consumer surplus? d)...
1. Suppose that a single-price monopolist faces the demand function P 100 Q where I is average weekly household income, and that the firm's marginal cost function is given by MC(Q) 2Q. The firm has no fixed costs. = (a) If the average weekly household income is $600, find the firm's marginal revenue function. (b) What is the firm's profit-maximizing quantity of output? At what price will the firm sell that output? What will the firm's marginal cost be? (c)...
Scenario 11.1 Maui Macadamia Inc. has a monopoly in the macadamia nut industry. The demand curve, marginal revenue and marginal cost curve for macadamia nuts are given as follows: P = 360 - 4Q; MR = 360 - 8Q; MC = 4Q 1. What level of output maximizes the sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus? 2. What is the profit-maximizing level of output? 3. At the profit-maximizing level of output, what is the level of consumer surplus? 4. At...
Suppose the inverse demand for a product produced by a single firm is given by: P = 72 – 3(Q) and this firm has a marginal cost of production of: MC = 2(Q) 1. If the firm cannot price-discriminate what is the profit-maximizing price ____________ and level of output? ____________ 2. If the firm cannot price-discriminatew what is : -the consumer surplus ____________ -the producer surplus ____________ -the dead-weight loss ____________ 3. If the firm can practice perfect price discrmination,...
A monopolist faces the following demand curve: P = 520 - 0.7Q, its total cost is given by: TC = 4600 + 0.3Q2 and its marginal cost is given by: MC = 0.6Q. (a) If it is a single price monopolist, what is its profit maximizing price and quantity? Show your work. How much is the profit? How much are consumer surplus and producer surplus? (b) Suppose it is a first degree price discriminator instead of a single price monopolist....
1. Suppose that demand is given by P=100-Q, marginal revenue is MR=100-2Q, and marginal cost (and average cost) is constant at 20. a. What single price will maximize a monopolist's profit? b. What will be the prices and quantity under two-part pricing? It involves a lump sum fee (e.g., membership fee) equal to the consumer surplus at competitive prices and user fees (i.e., unit price) equal to the competitive price. c. Now the monopolist has another group of consumers whose...
Suppose a profit-maximizing monopolist has total cost and marginal cost as follow. TC =8Q + 10 and MC = 8. It faces the demand curve P=20-1/5Q. What is the equilibrium price and output? What is the total profit? Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss if the firm acts as a monopolist. Illustrate your answer with a diagram. Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss if the firm acts as a perfectly price-discriminated monopolist. Illustrate your answer with a diagram.
A monopolist’s inverse demand is P=500-2Q, the total cost function is TC=50Q2 + 1000Q and Marginal cost is MC=100Q+100, where Q is thousands of units. a). what price would the monopolist charge to maximize profits and how many units will the monopolist sell? (hint, recall that the slope of the MARGINAL Revenue is twice as steep as the inverse demand curve. b). at the profit-maximizing price, how much profit would the monopolist earn? c). find consumer surplus and Producer surplus...
The graph shows a monopolist's demand (D), marginal revenue (MR), marginal cost (MC), and average total cost (ATC) curves. Despite having the market all to itself, the firm has struggled to make money. Suppose that the firm is sold,and the new owner is initially less intent on maximizing profits than on simply making a profit. What range of production quantities will low the frm to operate while earning a profit? Give your answer by those limits dragging the Qmin to...
