Suppose that the demand function for a monopolist is Q = 16 - P and the cost function is TC = 6Q. Which of the following DOES NOT hold. The optimal production of the monopolist is Q = 5 The perfectly competitive price would be P = 6 if all the competitors had the same costs as the monopolist The deadweight loss from monopoly is 12.5 The monopolist's marginal revenue is 16

A monopolist's demand function is P = 1624 - 4Q, and its total cost function is TC = 22,000 + 24Q - 4Q^2 + 1/3 Q^3, where Q is the output produced and sold. a. At what level of output and sales (Q) and price (P) will total profits be maximized? b. At what level of output and sales (Q) and price (P) will total revenue be maximized? c. At what price (P) should the monopolist shut down?

For a monopolist's product, the average cost function is c = 5 + 80/q and the demand function is p = 45 - 4q. Find the profit-maximizing price. (* Profit = Revenue - Cost = pq - cq )

Suppose a monopolist faces the following demand curve: P = 596 - 4Q. The marginal cost of production is constant and equal to $60, and there are no fixed costs. a. What is the monopolist's profit-maximizing level of output? b. What price will the profit-maximizing monopolist charge? c. How much profit will the monopolist make if she maximizes her profit? d. What would be the value of consumer surplus in this monopoly market? e. How much consumer surplus would there be if this market was perfectly competitive? f. What is the value of the deadweight loss when the market is a monopoly?
