A monopolist has a cost function given by c(y) = y and faces an inverse demand curve given by P(y) = 156.00 - y, where P is the per-unit price and y is the quantity of output sold. Assume this monopolist cannot discriminate and charges a single price. What is the profit-maximizing level of output? What is its profit-maximizing price? $ Part 2 (2 points) See Hint Assume you want to choose a price ceiling for this monopolist so as...

The inverse demand curve for a firm with market power is P = 120 – Q, and its marginal cost is given by MC = 2Q. If the firm is able to practice perfect first-degree price discrimination (instead of behaving as a single-price monopolist), the deadweight loss will _________ (increase or decrease) from $ _______ to $ _______ .

*2.2 If a monopoly faces an inverse demand function of p = 90 − Q , p=90−Q, has a constant marginal and average cost of 30, and can perfectly price discriminate, what is its profit? What are the consumer surplus, total surplus, and deadweight loss? How would these results change if the firm were a single-price monopoly?

A natural monopolist faces the following demand curve: P = 202 - 5Q, its total cost is given by: TC = 720 + 2Q (marginal cost is the slope of total cost). (a) If the government regulates the monopolist to charge a socially optimal price, what price will it charge and how many units will it sell? How much are the profit, consumer surplus and producer surplus? (b) If it is not a regulated monopolist, what is its profit maximizing...
