A monopolist produces output at total cost of c(q) = 3q. It faces a demand curve given by q(p) = p^−2. Derive the optimal price, quantity produced and profit given that the monopolist maximizes profit, first by expressing profit as a function of quantity, and then by using the mark-up rule. Check that the two solutions are the same.

A monopolist faces a demand curve P = 210 - 3Q and faces a constant marginal cost MC = 15.
A monopolist faces a demand curve P = 210 - 3Q and faces a constant marginal cost MC = 15. a) Calculate the profit-maximizing monopoly quantity and compute the monopolist's total revenue at the optimal price. d) Suppose that this monopoly opens for competition and the market becomes perfectly competitive. The firms face constant marginal cost MC = 15. Find the long-run perfectly competitive industry price and quantity.

A monopolist faces a market demand curve given by
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...
