Suppose a monopolist faces the following demand curve:
P = 200 – 2Q.
The long run marginal cost of production is constant and equal
to $20, 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 produce?
C) How much profit will the monopolist make if she maximizes her
profit?
D) What would be the value of consumer surplus if the market were
perfectly competitive?
E) What is the value of the deadweight loss when the market is a
monopoly?
F) What is the value of the Lerner Index for this monopoly?
