Suppose a monopolist faces a market demand curve Q = 50 - p. If marginal
cost is constant and equal to zero, what is the magnitude of the welfare loss? If
marginal cost increases to MC = 10, does welfare loss increase or decrease? Use a
graph to explain your answer.
A monopolist knows that in order to expand the quantity of output it produces from 8 to 9 units it must lower the price of its output from £2 to £1. Calculate the quantity effect and the price effect. Use these results to calculate the monopolist’s marginal revenue of producing the 9th The marginal cost of producing the 9th unit is positive. Is it a good idea for the monopolist to produce the 9th unit?
Hi! I got stuck with my microeconomics homework. Can you please help? Here's the problem:
A monopolist knows that in order to expand the quantity of output it produces from 8 to 9 units it must lower the price of its output from $2 to $1. Calculate the quantity effect and the price effect. Use these results to calculate the monopolist’s marginal revenue of producing the 9th unit. The marginal cost of producing the 9th unit is positive. Is it a good idea for the monopolist to produce the 9th unit?
