12. A monopoly firm faces a market with the demand function: P = 30 - Q. The firm has the long-run marginal cost of TC= 2Q. What is the price and output for the monopoly to achieve its maximum profit?
2. Suppose the cost function for a monopoly is given by TC =F+c.q where TC is the total cost, F is the fixed cost and q is the output of the firm. The demand function for the monopoly is given by q = A-bP where A > 0 and b > 0. Find out the profit maximizing price, quantity, and profit for the monopoly. Also find out the expression for the marginal revenue of the monopoly as well as the elasticity of demand facing the monopoly.

Draw an example of a monopoly with a linear demand curve and a constant marginal cost curve. a. Show the profit-maximizing price and output and and identify the areas of consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss. Also show the quantity that would be produced if the monopoly were to act like a price taker. b. Now suppose that the demand curve is a smooth concave-to-the-origin curve (whose ends hit the axes) that is tangent to the original demand curve at the point Explain why the monopoly equilibrium will be the same as with the linear demand curve. Show how much output the firm would produce if it acted like a price taker. Show how the welfare areas change. c. Repeat the exercises in part b if the demand curve is a smooth convex-to-the-origin curve (whose ends hit the axes) that is tangent to the original demand curve at the point
