Price can be written as P = 155 - Q. (A) TR is price multiplied by quantity for TR = P × Q = 155 × Q - (0.25) × Q 2 . Marginal revenue is MR = 155 - 2 × Q d . Marginal costs are MC = 110 - 0.5 × Q. MC = MB for monopolist Q* = 30, P* = 125, TR = P × Q = 125 × 30 = 3,750 Profits = TR - TC = 3,750 - [110 × 30 - (0.25) 30 2 ] = 675. (B) AC = TC/Q = 110 + (0.25) × Q. AC = D if the government intervenes, 110 - (0.25) × Q = 155 - Q so Q* = 60 and P* = 95 TR = P × Q = 60 × 95 = 5,700 Profits = TR - TC = 5,700 - [110 × 60 - (0.25) × 60 2 ] = 0 (C) Now the monopolist produces at perfectly competitive market quantity, S = D so MC = D thus 110 + (0.5) × Q = 155 - Q Q* = 90 and P* = 65 TR = P × Q = 65 × 90 = 5,850 Profits = TR - TC = 5,850 - [110 × 90 - (0.25) × 90 2 ] = - 2,025
