Question

.A revenue maximizing monopolist requires a profit of at least 1500. Her demand and cost functions are P=304-2q_1 and C=500+q_1+ 〖〖8q〗_1〗^2. Determine her output level and the price. Contrast these values with those that would be achieved under profit maximisation.

Step 1

- The demand function is given by \(P = 304 - 2q_1\), where \(P\) is the price and \(q_1\) is the quantity. - The cost function is given by \(C = 500 + q_1 + 8q_1^2\). - The monopolist requires a profit of at least 1500. - We need to determine the output level Show more…
