1. Suppose that a monopolist, who sells all units at a uniform price, faces an inverse market demand curve P=50 - Q. Assume that both the average cost and the marginal cost of production equal $5 per unit of output. Use a fully labeled diagram to graphically depict your answers to the following questions. (i) What is the equation of the marginal revenue (MR) curve? (ii) At what value of Q would the firm maximize its profit? (iii) What price would the firm charge to sell its profit-maximizing output? (iv) What is the maximum profit that the firm can earn? (v) What is the dollar value of the dead weight loss (DWL)? Give the numerical values for parts (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of this question, showing how you determined these numerical values.
