Consider a monopolist where the market demand curve for the produce is given by P = 520 – 2Q. This monopolist has marginal costs that can be expressed as MC = 100 + 2Q and total costs that can be expressed as TC = 100Q + Q2 + 50. a. Given the above information‚ what is this monopolist’s profit maximizing price and output if it charges a single price? Answer: MR = 520 – 4Q MC = 100 + 2Q 520 – 4Q = 100 + 2Q Q = 70 units of output P = 520 – 2Q = 520 – 2(70) = $380 per unit of output b. Given
