You are the manager of a monopoly, and your analysts have estimated your demand and cost functions as P = 200 − 3Q and C(Q) = 1,500 + 2Q2, respectively.a. What price–quantity combination maximizes your firm’s profits?

Sagot :

The price-quantity combination that maximizes the firm’s total profit will be $210 and 30 units respectively.

What is Bulk Pricing?

The price of goods and services in the market determines the quantity that consumers want. Assuming that non-price factors are removed from the equation, higher prices lead to lower quantities demanded, and lower prices lead to higher quantities demanded. A price is what a producer receives for the sale of one unit of goods or services. An increase in price will almost always increase the supply of that good or service, while a decrease in price will decrease the supply.

Calculating the maximum profit :

The inverse market demand function = 300 - 3Q

The total revenue will be:

                               = (300 - 3Q) × Q

                             = 300Q - 3Q²

The marginal revenue will be:

                             = 300 - 6Q

The total cost is given as:

                             = 1500 + 2Q².

The marginal cost will be:

                         = 4Q

The equilibrium level of output will then be: MR = MC

                              300 - 6Q = 4Q

                               6Q + 4Q = 300

                                  10Q = 300

                                     Q = 300/10

                                      Q = 30.

The quantity is 30 units.

The equilibrium price will then be:

                          P = 300 - 3Q

                        P = 300 - 3(30)

                               P = 300 - 90

                                    P = 210

Therefore, the price is $210.

The maximum profit that the firm will earn will be:

                         Profit = Revenue - Cost

                          = (210 × 30) - [(1500 × (2 × 30²)]

                                = 6300 - (1500 + 1800)

                                       = 6300 - 3300

                                              = $3000

Therefore, the profit will be $3000.
