Suppose we have a monopolist facing an inverse demand of P = 2 - (1/3)Q^2 and has a cost function of TC = Q^2. What is the monopolist's profit-maximizing price? Round to the nearest cent if necessary.

A monopolist faces the inverse demand function described by p = 100 - 2q, where q is the output. The monopolist has no fixed cost, and his marginal cost is $20 at all levels of output. What is the level of output that will maximize the monopolist's profit?

Consider a monopolist who faces the following demand function P = 100 – 2Q. The firm’s cost function is given by C(Q) = 10 + 2Q What are the profit maximizing output and price? What is the profit at this point?

A monopolist has a cost function given by c(y) = y2 and faces a demand curve given by P(y) = 120 - y. What is the profit maximizing level?
