5. Suppose that there is a monopoly in the market facing the market demand curve.\ Market demand function is $q=10-P$. Monopoly's cost function is given by $C(q)=2+4q$\ where $q$ is firm's output. What is the profit maximizing monopoly quantity and price?

In a country there is a monopoly in the market for a good. The demand function for the good is Q = 100 – P The cost functions for the good are: TC = 425 + 10Q and MC = 10 a) Determine price, quantity and profit if the monopoly maximizes profit.

Question 2: Cost functions and market structures You are the manager of a monopoly that faces a demand curve described by P = 230 - 20Q. Your total costs are TC = 5 + 30Q. What is the profit-maximizing output and price for your firm? What is the monopolist’s profit (at the profit-maximizing level of output and price)?
