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...

2. The inverse demand for hangars is given by: P-3-Q/16,000. Suppose further that the marginal cost of producing hangars is constant at $1 and the fixed cost is zero. a) What is the equilibrium price and quantity of hangars if the market is competitive? b) What is the equilibrium price and quantity of hangers if the market is monopolized? c) What is the dead weight or welfare loss of monopoly in this market?
