Problem 1. Process Innovation 2 points) Consider a monopoly market characterized by the following demand curve: P(Q) = 30 - 0.50. If the monopolist invests in a process innovation which leads to decrease in marginal cost from MCo = 25 to MC = 20 and incury higher fixed cost, respectively FC = 30 relative to FCo = 12.5 before the investment in the innovation. (a) What type is the innovation, large (major) or small (minor)? (b) Compute the maximal amount the monopolist would be willing to invest in this innovation, by solving for the infinite sum of the discounted flow of the expected profit increments, given a discount rate r = 0.04.
