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.
