You are the manager of a monopoly. A typical consumer's inverse demand function for your firm's product is P = 250- 4Q, and your

cost function is TC = 10Q. A. MC is fixed and is equal to $10 (MC=AC=S). MR=250-8Q.
(P=price, Q=quantity of output, TC=total cost, MC=marginal cost, MR=marginal revenue, S=supply)


1)What price the company should choose to get maximum profit if the company will use ordinary pricing strategy?

2)Now suppose the company is thinking about using price discrimination for lower income group of customers. If the company will offer discount of $30 in price to the lower income groups how much additional profit will the company earn? Illustrate graphically.

3)Explain the conditions needed to apply the price discrimination strategy?

Answer:

(1) 240-8Q=0240−8Q=0  (2) 225 (3) it is very necessary that the direct elasticity of demand for a product at a price from several buyers be different significantly;  so that customers are easily known, that further goods resale by buyers is not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Given that:

(1) TR=∫MR=250Q−4Q  

Pr=TR-TC=250Q-4Q² - 10Q=240Q−4Q²  

Thus,

Pr   =240−8Q

240-8Q=0240−8Q=0

(2) Q=30

Now,

p=250-4 * 30=130

p=100

so.

100=250−4Q

Q=37.5

Pr=240×37.5−4×37.5²

=3375

Hence,

ΔPr=3600−3375=225

(3) For the execution of price discrimination by a monopolist, it is very important that the direct elasticity of demand for a product at a price from different buyers be remarkably different; so that  customers are easily known, that further goods resale by buyers is not done.

Serhud [2]

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 4 feet that the ladder rises, the bottom of the ladder should be 1 foot away from the wall. If you are going to climb onto a roof, the ladder should extend 3 feet higher than the roof. Also, the upper and lower sections of an extension ladder should overlap to provide stability

Of the three properties, reflexive, symmetric, and transitive that define the relation "is equal to," which one could also apply
yan [13]

Answer: Transitive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, for the equality we have:

Reflexive:

  For all real numbers x, x = x.

Symmetric:  

 For all real numbers x, y

 if x= y, then y = x.

Transitive:

 For reals x, y and z.

 if x = y, and y = z, then x = z.

Now, let's talk about inequalities.

first, the reflexive property will say that:

x > x.

This has no sense, so this property does not work for inequalities.

Now, the reflexive.

If x > y, then y > x.

Again, this has no sense, if x is larger than y, then we can never have that y is larger than x. This property does not work for inequalities.

Not, the transitive property.

if x > y, and y > z, then x > z.

This is true.

x is bigger than y, and y is bigger than z, then x should also be bigger than z.

x > y > z.

And this also works for the inverse case:

x < y and y < z, then x < z.

So the correct option is transitive property.

Answer:

11.7

Step-by-step explanation:

add all the numbers then divide the answer with the number of how many numbers they are

12 +15+ 6+ 8 +12+17 +10+8+ 7+ 13+ 14 +16 +8+18+11=175

175/15=11.6666666667

round the answer to the nearest whole number=11.7
