Compute the marginal revenue when the price elasticity of demand is -0.10.
A.-9P, meaning marginal revenue is negative and 9 times greater than price.
B.9P, meaning marginal revenue is positive and 9 times greater than price.
C.-3P, meaning marginal revenue is negative and 3 times greater than price.
D.3P, meaning marginal revenue is positive and 3 times greater than price.
A.-9P, meaning marginal revenue is negative and 9 times greater than price.
B.9P, meaning marginal revenue is positive and 9 times greater than price.
C.-3P, meaning marginal revenue is negative and 3 times greater than price.
D.3P, meaning marginal revenue is positive and 3 times greater than price.
answer
-9P, meaning marginal revenue is negative and 9 times greater than price.
question
Consider a monopoly where the inverse demand for its product is given by P = 80 - 2Q. Total costs for this monopolist are estimated to be C(Q) = 100 + 20Q + Q2. At the profit-maximizing combination of output and price, deadweight loss is:
A.$30.
B.$50.
C.$80.
D.Cannot be determined with the given information.
A.$30.
B.$50.
C.$80.
D.Cannot be determined with the given information.

question
Suppose that initially the price is $20 in a perfectly competitive market. Firms are making zero economic profits. Then the market demand shrinks permanently, some firms leave the industry,
and the industry returns to a long-run equilibrium. What will be the new equilibrium price, assuming cost conditions in the industry remain constant?
A.$20
B.$16
C.Lower than $20 but exact value cannot be known without more information.
D.Larger than $20 but exact value cannot be known without more information.

question
A monopoly has two production plants with cost functions C1= 40 + 0.2 Q12 and C2= 50 + 0.1 Q22. The demand it faces is Q = 480 - 5P. What is the profit-maximizing level of output?
A.Q1 = 50; Q2 = 100
B.Q1 = 60; Q2= 120
C.Q1= Q2= 75
D.Q1 = Q2 = 100
A.Q1 = 50; Q2 = 100
B.Q1 = 60; Q2= 120
C.Q1= Q2= 75
D.Q1 = Q2 = 100
answer
Q1 = 60; Q2= 120
