https://www.ft.com/content/e92dbf94-d9a2-11e9-8f9b-77216ebe1f17 why do drug makers sometimes have monopoly power? the article quotes economics professor William Lazonick as saying, “Either the purpose of a drug company and the people managing it is to take the profits and reinvest them. . . to do drug development.

A monopoly that charges a single, profit maximizing price, will earn a profit of π = -27 TC=MCQ = 2x 18 =36. PC=TR²-² TC = 18³-36=144 3. A perfect price discriminating monopoly will earn a profit of π = /44 If the monopolist introduces a two-part tariff, the profit maximizing strategy would be to charge an access fee of M = $ 62 and a user-fee of P = $ per unit. 5. With a profit maximizing two-part tariff, the monopolist would earn a profit of л = $ 6.
