Assume that Gas & Minerals is the only copper mining firm in Chile. The national demand for copper in thousands of tonnes per month is: q^d(p) = 15 - pThe total costs in millions of dollars are: c(q) = 5q(a) What would be the profit-maximising level of production for this firm? Determine the monopoly price and quantify the profits. Graph the demand, marginal revenue and marginal cost, identifying their values along with determining the social loss generated and identifying it in the graph above. Assume now that due to a bad internal restructuring, the operations manager was fired and a professional with little mining experience was hired. The new manager does not know environmental protocol and mining waste (tailings) has gotten out of control and has been dumped into a river. This generated a negative externality on copper production. The estimated damage is US$5 million per 1,000 tonnes.(b) Obtain the social marginal cost of this mining activity.(c) What level of production will…
You own a road resurfacing business called Rockit Asphalting services located in Kingston. You are the only reservicing business in Southern Tasmania. Therefore, you have a local monopoly. Your experience running the company for many years has taught you that market demand for your service can be described by the demand function: p = 20 − q. The cost function is c = q2. Therefore, marginal cost equals 2q. Quantity refers to square metre of road resurfacing. Note the Q denotes aggregate market demand and q denotes your production. Of course, if you are the only supplier than q = Q. Compute profit maximising price and output. Compute profits. The monopoly profit that you have been earning has attracted attention from another firm that will set up operations in Southern Tasmania and compete for market share. You are concerned with losing market share and profit. So, you offer the potential entrant the following deal. Both firms agree to maximise industry profits (joint…
A company operates two plants which manufacture the same item and whose total cost functions are C₁ = 5.1 +0.04(q₁)² and C₂ = 7.4 + 0.02(92)², where q1 and 2 are the quantities produced by each plant. The company is a monopoly. The total quantity demanded, q = 91 + 92, is related to the price, p, by p = 40 -0.02q. How much should each plant produce in order to maximize the company's profit?¹ 91 = i 92 = i

A monopoly profit-maximizes by selling 700 tables each hour. At this level of production, it has marginal revenue of $40, average revenue of $50, marginal cost of $40 and average total cost of $42. What is the monopoly's profit-maximizing price assuming they are not price discriminating? Type your numeric answer and submit
A firm is originally operating as a single-price monopolist that faces a market demand curve ?(?)=190−1/6?and total cost curve equal toTC(Q)=30,500+42Q, with constant MC equal to ??(?)=42for all units produced. Part (a): How much output does the firm produce and at what price is each unit sold for? Part (b): Calculate the firm’s profit. The firm now realizes there are actually two distinct groups of consumers that purchase their product, with the following demand functions: ?(?1)=168−1/4?1 ?(?2)=234−1/2?2 Their total and marginal cost curves have not changed. If the firm wanted to successfully practice third-degree price discrimination: Part (c): How many units of output would they sell to group 1 and how much will each consumer in group 1 pay? Part (d): How many units of output would they sell to group 2 and how much will each consumer in group 2 pay? Part (e): How much profit is earned by the firm when they practice third-degree price discrimination? Part (f): How much did profits…
You are the manager of a monopoly, and your demand and cost functions are given by P = 300 – 3Q and C(Q) = 1,500 + 2Q2, respectively. What price-quantity combination maximizes your firm’s profits? Calculate the maximum profits. Is demand elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic at the profit-maximizing price-quantity combination? What price-quantity combination maximizes revenue? Calculate the maximum revenues? Is demand elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic at the revenue-maximizing price-quantity combination?
Consider the relationship between monopoly pricing and the price elasticity of demand. If demand is inelastic and a monopolist raises its price, quantity would fall by a ▼. Therefore, a monopolist will Use the purple segment (diamond symbols) to indicate the portion of the demand curve that is inelastic. (Hint: The answer is related to the marginal- revenue (MR) curve.) Then use the black point (plus symbol) to show the quantity and price that maximizes total revenue (TR).

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? What are the consumer surplus, welfare, and deadweight loss? How would these results change if the firm were a single-price monopoly? Profit from perfect price discrimination () is $88200. (Enter your response as a whole number.) Corresponding consumer surplus is (enter your response as whole numbers): welfare is and deadweight loss is Profit from single-price profit-maximization is = $44100.
