Ajax Cleaning Products is a medium-sized firm operating in an industry dominated by one large firmâ€”Tile King. Ajax produces a multiheaded tunnel wall scrubber that is similar to a model produced by Tile King. Ajax decides to charge the same price as Tile King to avoid the possibility of a price war. The pnce charged by Tile King is $20,000. Ajax has the following short-run cost curve: TC=800,0005,000Q+100Q2 Compute the marginal cost curve for Ajax. Given Ajaxs pricing strategy, what is the marginal venue function for Ajax? Compute the profit-maximizing level of output for Ajax. Compute Ajaxs total dollar profits.

The cost function for producing ethanol from municipal waste (wastehol) is 1000+10q2where q is in millions/gallons per year. The demand for wastehol is currently perfectly inelastic at 5 million gallons per year. Assume that producers of wastehol are perfectly competitive. California is deciding whether to convert all wastehol producers into a regulated wastehol utility. If wastehol is a regulated monopoly utility with the cost function above, what price would regulators set as the price of wastehol? Now assume that the wasteahol market has boomed and demand has grown to 20 (again million gallons per year). Now what is the regulated price of wastehol? You are the wastehol producer and are trying to decide whther to lobby for deregulating the wastehol industry. If wastehol were deregulated, if demand remains 20, what would the perfectly competitive price be? If you are a wastehol customer, you would prefer a deregulated industry if demand were 20? True/False?
Suppose a monopoly market has a demand function in whichquantity demanded depends not only on market price (P) butalso on the amount of advertising the firm does (A, measuredin dollars). The specific form of this function isQ =(20 - P2) (1 + 0.1A - 0.01A2).The monopolistic firm’s cost function is given byC = 10Q + 15 + A.a. Suppose there is no advertising (A = 0). What outputwill the profit-maximizing firm choose? What market price will this yield? What will be the monopoly’sprofits?b. Now let the firm also choose its optimal level of advertising expenditure. In this situation, what output levelwill be chosen? What price will this yield? What will thelevel of advertising be? What are the firm’s profits in thiscase? Hint: This can be worked out most easily by assuming the monopoly chooses the profit-maximizing pricerather than quantity.
You are the manager of a monopoly. Your analysics department estimates that a typical consumer's inverse demand function for your firm's product is P= 300 -200 and your cost function is qa= 600 a Determine the optimal two-part pricing strategy. Perunit fee S Fixed fee $ b. How much additional profit do you earn using a two-part pricing strategy compered with cherging this consumer a per-unit price?
You are a consultant who is advising a monopoly on the optimal pricing strategy. Your analysis has yielded the following information. • The marginal cost (MC) is $3. • The demand equation is P = 90 - 3Q . The total cost (TC) is given by 35+ 3Q The marginal revenue (MR) is given by 90 - 6Q Based on this information, answer the following questions. Show FULL calculations! (a) Following the concepts of profit maximization, what is the profit maximizing quantity for this monopoly? (b) Following the concepts of profit maximization, what is the profit maximizing price for this monopoly? (c) Following the concepts of profit maximization, what is the monopoly's profit at the profit maximization point?
Consider a mature maket with a demand given by P=105.4-10Q The cost of production is given by C=10Q For many years this market has been served by a monopolist. How much profit would the firm lose if it is forced to behave as a competitive firm In all your calculations use numbers with 4 decimal places.
Paradise Cruises has a monopoly in renting luxury yachts for sailing in the Caribbean Sea. In summer its monthly inverse demand is Ps = 600 - 20g. In winter the inverse demand is Pw = 600 - Qw Paradise has a total of 250 yachts available for rental on a monthly basis. Which season is peak season? Why? What are the profit-maximizing prices in both seasons? Assume marginal cost is zero. Peak season is winter because demand is higher. The profit-maximizing peak-load price for the summer is Ps = 5 and the optimal peak-load price for the winter is Pw = (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
What happens if a perfectly competitive industry becomes a monopoly? Suppose the demand curve in the figure is market demand and the corresponding market supply curve represents the marginal cost of production. Compared to perfect competition, a profit-maximizing monopoly would decrease output by 2 units. (Enter your response as an integer) In addition, a monopoly would lower price by $12 Price and cost per unit 20- 18- 10- 14- 12- 10- 8- 8- 4- 2 SMC D G MR 2 ° 10 12 14 10 18 20 Quantity
Lefola limited is the only manufacture of producr G easy in the popa land. It has provided documented levels of demand at certain selling prices for product Geasy which are as follows: Price per unit demand units total costs 7000 0 3000 6000 1 5000 5000 2 8000 4000 3 12000 3000 4 17000 2000 5 23000 1000 6 30000 Using a tabular approach, calculate the marginal revenues and marginal costs for product G-Easy at the different levels of demand, and so determine the sellibg pruce at which lefola limited's profits are maximized.
