If the marginal costs are constant and zero for a single price monopolist facing the demand curve P = 10 - Q, what will profits be if fixed costs are 12?
P= 10 - Q
TR = PQ = 10Q - Q^2
MR = 10 - 2Q
MR= MC
10-2Q = 0
Q= 5
P= 10-5= 5
Profit = 5*5 - 12= 13

Consider a single-price monopolist (i.e. the monopolist cannot price discriminate) facing the following market demand curve: P = 120 − Q. The monopolist has constant marginal cost of $20 and zero fixed cost. (a) Determine the monopolist’s profit maximizing quantity, denoted QM, and profit maximizing price, denoted PM. (b) Determine the quantity and price that would result in the market if this instead were a competitive market, denoted QC and PC, respectively. (c) Draw a picture of the market demand...

A monopolist faces a market demand curve given by Q=70-P a. If the monopolist can produce at constant average and marginal costs ofAC-MC-6, what output level will the monopolist choose to maximize profits? What is the price at this output level? What are the monopolist's profits? b. Assume instead that the monopolist has a cost structure where total costs are described by C(Q) = 0.25Q2 - 5Q + 300. With the monopolist facing the same market demand and marginal revenue, what price-quantity combination will be chosen now...

A monopolist has variable costs of VC = q2 and faces a demand curve of P = 24 – q, where P is price and q the quantity sold. If the monopolist sets a single price what is profit (assume there are no fixed costs)?
Suppose a monopolist faces the following demand curve: P=250-Q Marginal cost of production is constant and equal to $10, there are no fixed costs What is the monopolist's profit-maximizing level of output?
Suppose a single price monopolist faces the inverse demand curve: P =50– 2Q. Further suppose this monopolist faces a constant MC curve: MC = 10. Compute the welfare loss created when this single monopolist maximizes profits.
