Exercise A.6 A monopolist facing the demand curve Q = 42 – 0.6P operates with constant average and marginal costs equal to 20. a) Calculate the quantity, price and profit obtained by the monopolist. Represent graphically. (b) What quantity, what price and what benefit will you get if you can apply first-degree price discrimination? Calculate the consumer surplus and represent graphically. c) The monopolist warns that he can separate consumers into two distinct groups with demands Q1 = 12 - 0.1P1 and Q2 = 30 - 0.5P2. Calculate the quantities, the prices you will set in each market, and the profit you will make. Represent graphically.
Exercise A.3 Compare the competitive equilibrium with that of the first-degree price discriminating monopolist. Indicate the similarities and differences that exist in prices, quantities produced, consumer surplus and loss of efficiency between both situations.

Suppose a monopoly market has a demand function in whichquantity demanded depends not only on market price (P) butalso on the amount of advertising the firm does (A, measuredin dollars). The specific form of this function isQ =(20 - P2) (1 + 0.1A - 0.01A2).The monopolistic firm’s cost function is given byC = 10Q + 15 + A.a. Suppose there is no advertising (A = 0). What outputwill the profit-maximizing firm choose? What market price will this yield? What will be the monopoly’sprofits?b. Now let the firm also choose its optimal level of advertising expenditure. In this situation, what output levelwill be chosen? What price will this yield? What will thelevel of advertising be? What are the firm’s profits in thiscase? Hint: This can be worked out most easily by assuming the monopoly chooses the profit-maximizing pricerather than quantity.
Question 5: Jimmy has a room that overlooks, from some distance, a major league baseball stadium. He decides to rent a telescope for $50 a week and charge his friends and classmates to use it to peep at the game for 30 seconds. He can act as a monopolist for renting out "peeps". For each person who takes a 30 second peep, it costs Jimmy $.20 to clean the eyepiece. Jimmy believes he has the following demand for his service: Price of a Peep $1.20 Quantity of peeps demanded 1.00 90 100 150 200 250 300 70 60 50 350 40 30 400 450 20 10 500 550 a) For each price, calculate the total revenue from selling peeps and themarginal revenue per peep.
