- 6. Guy Rope and his backing group, the Tent Pegs, have just finished recording their latest music CD. Their record company's marketing department determines that the demand for the CD is as follows: Price (€) Number of CDs €24 10 000 22 20 000 20 30 000 18 40 000 16 50 000 14 60 000 The company can produce the CD with no fixed cost and a variable cost of €0.15 per CD. a. Find total revenue for quantity equal to 10 000, 20 000 and so on. What is the marginal revenue for each 10 000 increase in the quantity sold? b. What quantity of CDs would maximize profit? What would the price be? What would the profit be? c. If you were Guy Rope's agent, what recording fee would you advise Guy to demand from the record company? Why?MIcro: The company “Mike Broonie” operates in the market of monopolistic competition. Just now, the company weekly produces and sells 100 units of pillows for £12 each. The average total cost to produce the pillows doesn’t depend on the output, being £10 per unit. Having evaluated the price elasticity of demand for its product, the company concluded that demand is inelastic at the moment. a. What indicator characterizes the price elasticity of demand? What formula (or formulas) one can use to calculate this indicator? Choose any number for this indicator that, under the conditions specified in the case, could characterize the price elasticity of demand for the company “Mike Broonie”. b. Imagine that the owner of the company wants to increase the price of the company’s product. How will it affect sales, revenue, and profit (will each of these indicators increase, decrease, or remain the same)? Give here theoretically substantiated forecast. To increase the number of points…A monopolist is faced with the following cost and revenue curves:(picture) a.What is the maximum-profit price and output,total revenue, total cost and profit? b.If the monopolist were ordered to produce 300 units, what would be the market price and how much profit would now be made c.If the monopolist were faced with the same demand, but average costs were constant at £60 per unit, what output would maximise profit?

- COURSE: MICROECONOMICS 2 - MONOPOLY IN DURABLE GOODSA monopolistic firm has estimated its inverse demand function as P = 200 − 0.5 Q + 40*(1/UL) with a increasing marginal cost (MC) estimated to be 10 Q. (a) Estimate effect on firm's extraordinary profit if it changes useful life (UL) of its product from 8 years to 5 years. b) What will happen to selling price?2. Monopoly, Practice Question Firm P is a monopolist for a new drug that makes people feel thinner. the total cost function is C(Q) = 200 + 10Q + Q² The inverse demand function is p(Q) = 82 - Q (a) By how much do revenues increase if this firm sells one more (small) unit of output? By how much does its cost go up if it produces one more (small) unit of output? (b) What is the optimal price and quantity the monopolist should charge and sell? (c) What is the profit the monopolist makes? Should the firm shut down in the short or long run? (d) If the company increases its price by a small fraction (let us say 1%), by what proportion does demand go down? [Round to two decimal places.] (e) What percentage of the price is due to costs and what is due to markup? [Round to two decimal places.] (f) What is the deadweight loss of the monopoly pricing compared to competitive prices?1) You run a small company that provides regular pool service to customers in East Dallas. Like your competitors in the pool service business, you provide pool service 4 times per month but invoice customers for service on a monthly basis. When you raised the monthly price of pool service from $125 to $140, you lost 28 customers, leaving you with 90 pools to service. You believe that your demand curve has constant elasticity and has not shifted since you started your business. a. Estimate your elasticity of demand? b. Given the cost of pool chemicals, gas, wear and tear on your truck and your time, you believe that the marginal cost of servicing an additional pool in East Dallas is $75 per month. What can you say about your optimal price? Was it a good idea to increase your price? Over time, you realize that half of your 90 customers appear to be more price sensitive than the other half. You know that your customers communicate with each other and would be unhappy knowing that they are…

Price 9876 5A32You live in a town with 300 Adults and 200 children, and you arc thinking about putting on a play to entertain your neighbors and make some money. A play has a fixed cost of $2,000, but selling an extra ticket has zero marginal cost. Here are the demand schedules for your two types of customer: a. To maximize profit, what price would you charge for an adult ticket? For a child's ticket?How much profit do you make?b. The city council passes a law prohibiting you from charging different prices to different customers. What price do you set for a ticket now? How much profit do you make?c. Who is worse off because of the law prohibiting price discrimination? Who is better off? (If you can, quantify the changes in welfare.)d. If the fixed cost of the play were $2,500 rather than $2,000, how would your answers to parts (a), (b), and (c) change?
