Barbara is a producer in a monopoly industry. Her demand curve, total revenue curve, marginal revenue curve and total cost curve are given as follows:
Q = 160 - 4P TR = 40Q - 0.25Q2 MR = 40 - 0.5Q TC = 4Q MC = 4
The price of her product will be ________.

Respuesta :

Answer:

22

Explanation:

A monopoly will maximize profit at MR = MC ( marginal revenue = marginal cost)72

MR =MC

40 -0.5 Q = 4

-0.5 Q = 4 - 40 = -36

Q = -36 / -0.5 = 72

The price of the her product

Q = 160 - 4P

4P =  160 - 72 = 88

P = 88 / 4 = 22
