Suppose there is a monopoly in the market whose consumers are one of two types (A and B). The (inverse) demand of type A consumers are given by P = 60 −QA/4 and the (inverse) demand for type B consumers are given by P = 45 −QB/2 . Suppose that this monopolist has a constant marginal cost of production of MC(q) = 18.25 + Q/6 . Solve for the equilibrium price charged to each type of consumer and the equilibrium...

5. Suppose a firm offers two software products: Wordy -- a document creator, and Excello, a spreadsheet app. They know there are two types of consumers overall, English types and Quant types, each with a different valuation (demand) for each product. Use the following table to answer questions below. Assume the cost of producing Wordy is a constant MC = $100, the cost of producing Excello is a constant MC = $150 and that each consumer will purchase each good...

22. Suppose a monopoly sells to two identifiably different types of customers, A and B, who are unable to practice arbitrage. The inverse demand curve for group A is PA 20-QA, and the inverse demand curve for group B is PB 20-2QB. The monopolist is able to produce the good for either type of customer at a constant marginal cost of 4, and the monopolist has no fixed costs. If the monopolist practices group price discrimination, what are the profit...

A) Suppose a monopoly sells to two identifiably different types of customers, A and B, who are unable to practice arbitrage. The inverse demand curve for group A is PA = 29 - QA, and the inverse demand curve for group B is PB = 19 - 2QB. The monopolist is able to produce the good for either type of customer at a constant marginal cost of 3, and the monopolist has no fixed costs. If the monopolist practices group...

Suppose a company has a monopoly on yogurt, and sells it to two types of consumers. The company is unable to identify which type of consumer is which. One type of consumers really enjoys yogurt, and has an individual demand for servings of yogurt of Qh= 20 − 2P. The other type likes yogurt less, and has an individual demand for servings of Ql=16−2P. The marginal cost of a serving of yogurt is 4. The company decides to adopt a...

Problem 1. Second Degree price discrimination Suppose all consumers are identical and market demand given by p = 100-q. The monopoly's cost function is C(q) q2. (a) Suppose the monopolist cannot discriminate prices and must set a uniform price. Compute price and quantity set by the monopolist. Compute the profit of the monopoly. b) Suppose now that the monopoly can set a two-part tariff. Find the optimal two-part tariff. Compute the profit of the monopolist Problem 2. Third Degree price...

Suppose a monopolist’s costs are described by the function C(Q) = 7 + Q2 and the monopolist faces a demand curve of Q = 30 − 2P. (a) What are the monopolist’s profit-maximizing price and quantity? What is the resulting profit? (b) If the monopolist could enforce first degree price discrimination, what would be the lowest price that it would charge and how many units it would produce? What would be the profit and consumer surplus? (c) How much consumer...

Suppose there are two types consumers in the market for commodity x, type A and B. Their demands are described, respectively, by the expressions -4pr 40 Тв 2 P10 whenever x is nonnegative. Assuming there are 10 type A consumers and 20 type B, determine the market demand curve

There are two groups of customers in the market. Demand of group number 1 is Q1(p) = 3−0.5p, and demand of group number 2 is Q2(p) = 5−2p. The market is served by a monopolist with MC = 1. (a) Write down the market demand function (remember that demand function should be welldefined for all possible prices). Plot it. (b) Derive the MR(Q) for the market demand and plot it on the graph from above. (c) What price will the...

Individuals in the market consist of two types A and B. The individual demands for each type are and . (Note: they look similar to the ones in the earlier questions, but these are individual demands and those were market demands). The firm's cost function is C(x)=6x. A consultant proposes a two-part tariff. Consumers have to pay a fixed fee F and a per-unit fee of 6. The fixed fee is equal to the consumer surplus the lower demand type...
