A monopolist with total costs C=8Q sells to a market where demand is P=28-Q a. Compute the monopolist's price, quantity, and profit. No diagram is required. b. A second firm with C=8Q-16 threatens to enter this market. Provide a Residual demand curve diagram to illustrate and quantify how the monopolist can implement a predatory pricing scheme that will make this second firm decide not to enter

A monopolist has a constant marginal cost of 12. Consumers' inverse demand is P = 32 - 4Q. The monopolist runs a persuasive advertising campaign that costs 26 and increases consumer demand to P = 37 - 4Q. (a) What is the gain (or loss) in the firms profits caused by the advertising campaign? b) When consumers' pre-advertising preferences are used to calculate welfare, what is the welfare gain (or loss) caused by the advertising campaign? Answer 2 Question 1 (c) When consumers' post-advertising preferences are used to calculate welfare, what is the welfare gain (or loss) caused by the advertising campaign? Answer 3 Question 1

A monopolist is deciding how to allocate output between two geographically separated markets (East Coast and Midwest). Demand and marginal revenue for the two markets are: P1=20−Q1 MR1=20−2Q1 P2=30−2Q2 MR2=30−4Q2 The monopolist's total cost is C=5+5(Q1+Q2). What are price, output, profits, marginal revenues, and deadweight loss if the monopolist can price discriminate? (round all answers to two decimal places) In market 1, the price is $12.50 and the quantity is 7.50 In market 2, the price is $17.50and the quantity is 6.25

Market demand for the nuclear substance pluranium is given below, along with the TR for the given demand schedule. Pluranium is supplied to the world market by a monopolist. Suppose that the marginal cost of supplying an extra megatonne of pluranium is $20 and the business has FC=$60. Suppose that the monopolist can 3rd degree price discriminate and segregate market demand into two global regions - North world and South world - as follows: North world Price ($ per megaton) Quantity (megatons) 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 0 1 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 Price ($ per megaton) 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 South world 10 0 Quantity (megatons) 0 0 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 Given that they segregate the market, what is the profit that the monopolist makes?
