Question: The marginal revenue curve of a monopoly crosses its marginal cost curve at $30 per unit and an output at 2 million units. The price that consumers are willing to pay for this output is $40 per unit. If it produces this output, the firm's average total cost is $43 per unit, and its average fixed cost is $8 per unit. What is the profitmaximizing (loss-minimizing) output? What are the firm's economic profits (or economic losses)?
For each of the following examples, explain how and why a monopoly would try to price discriminate. (see pages 545-546).
a. Air transport for businesspeople and tourists
b. Serving food on weekdays to businesspeople and retired people.
Hint: Which group has more flexibility during weekday to adjust to a price change and, hence, a higher price elasticity of demand?
Question: Demand has fallen. What is likely to happen to the monolpolist' price, output rate, and economic profits? (see pages 541-544).
