Practice Question 4. The inverse demand curve a monopoly faces is p = 30 – Q. The firm's total cost function is C(Q) = 0.5Q² and thus marginal cost function is MC(Q) = Q. (a) Determine the monopoly quantity, price and profit, and calculate the CS, PS and social welfare under the monopoly. (b) Determine the socially optimal outcome and calculate the CS, PS and social welfare under the social optimum. (c) Calculate the deadweight loss due to the monopolist...

Suppose that the local hardware store has a monopoly on screwdrivers. The market demand is given by P = 33 – 0.25Q and the marginal revenue is MR = 33 – 0.5Q. The marginal cost of selling screwdrivers is MC = 1 + 1.5Q. What is the profit-maximizing price the monopolist should charge for the screwdrivers and how many will they sell? Price: $ Quantity: screwdrivers

Problem 3: A market with a monopoly producer has inverse demand P = 120 - 2Q (which gives marginal revenue MR = 120 - 4Q). The monopolist has marginal costs are MCQ) = 4Q and no fixed costs. a) What is the monopolist's producer surplus when it charges the profit maximizing uniform price. b) What is the deadweight loss due to monopoly in this market? c) What would the monopolist's producer surplus be if it could engage in first degree...
