Multiple Choice
Scenario: Suppose the monopolist faces the following demand, total revenue, and marginal revenue curves:
Demand: Qᵈ = 100 - p,
Total Revenue: TR(Q) = 100 ∙ Q - Q²,
Marginal Revenue: MR(Q) = 100 - 2 ∙ Q.
This monopolist's total cost, average total cost, and marginal cost curves are given by
Total Cost: TC(Q) = 10 ∙ Q +
∙ Q²,
Average Total Cost: ATC(Q) = 10 +
∙ Q,
Marginal Cost: MC(Q) = 10 + Q.
The monopolist's profit function is given by
Profits: π (P,Q) = Total Revenue - Total Cost
Profits: π (P,Q) = P ∙ Q - TC(Q) ,
Profits: π (P,Q) = Q ∙
,
Profits: π (P,Q) =
∙ Q,
Profits: π (P,Q) = [P - ATC(Q) ] ∙ Q, so
Profits: π (P,Q) = Total Revenue - Total Cost
Profits: π (P,Q) = [100 ∙ Q - Q²] -
, or
Profits: π (P,Q) =
∙ Q.
These revenue and cost curves are presented in table form below.
