Question: Algebraic Problem II - Monopoly with Quadratic Cost Function (10 points ) Suppose a monopoly's inverse market demand curve is P = 13 - Q
Algebraic Problem II - Monopoly with Quadratic Cost Function (10points)
Suppose a monopoly's inverse market demand curve is P = 13 - Q and its cost function is C(Q) = 25 + Q + (1/2)*Q2. [ Hints: marginal revenue is equal to 13 - 2Qand marginal cost is 1+Q ]
(i) What is the profit-maximizing quantity and price if there is no price discrimination?
(ii) What is the monopolist's profit? Should the monopoly operate or shutdown?
