- Suppose a monopoly firm has the following Cost and Demand functions: TC=Q2 P=80-Q MC=2Q MR=80-2Q Carefully explain what the firm is doing and why. Find the firm’s Profit maximizing Q Find the firm’s Profit maximizing P. Find the firm’s Profit. Suppose because of an advertising campaign, which costs $500, the monopoly’s demand curve is: P=100-Q so its MR= 100-2Q. MC=2Q Looking closely at the TC function and the demand curve, explain the effects of the advertising campaign on the equations compared with the equations above in part 1. Find the firm’s Profit maximizing Q Find the firm’s Profit maximizing P. Find the firm’s Profit. Was the advertising campaign successful? Compare 2 w/ 1. Why?In British Columbia, Canada a company named after Tim Hortons runs a monopoly on a sweet snack called Timbits! Suppose the demand for Timbits is P=90-Q and the cost function is C-Q How much would the consumer surplus, producer surplus and DWL be in case Tim Hortons a single-price monopoly? Suppose Tim Hortons could install a device in its premises that could immediately 11) predict the willingness to pay of every unsuspecting customer entering its franchise premises and charge them that corresponding amount! Additionally, suppose they could also stop resale of products, and thus become a first degree price discriminatıng monopoly. How much would the consumer surplus, producer surplus and DWL be in this case?Barbara is a producer in a monopoly industry. Her demand curve and total cost curve are given by Q = 160 - 4P and TC = 4Q. Barbara will produce ✓ units. Barbara will charge a price of Barbara will make a profit of Suppose now the government imposes a tax of 4 dollars on each unit sold. With the tax: Barbara will produce ✓ units. Barbara will receive a price per unit of higher). Barbara will make a profit of In addition to the tax, suppose the government imposes a business levy (a fixed cost) of $500. With this levy: Barbara will produce Barbara will charge a price of Barbara will make a profit of ✓. Note: we're looking for the Barbara receives, not the price consumers pay (which will be ✓ units. ✓. Note: we're looking for the Barbara receives, not the price consumers pay (which will be higher).
- If a monopoly faces an inverse demand curve of p=450-Q, has a constant marginal and average cost of $30, and can perfectly price discriminate, what is its profit?
