Solution:
A monopolistic producer of two goods, G1 and G2, has a total cost function
TC = 5Q(1) +10Q(2)
where Q(1) and Q(2) denote the quantities of G1 and G2 respectively. If P1 and P2 denote the corresponding prices then the demand equations are
P(1) = 50 - Q(1) - Q(2)
P(2) = 100 - Q(1) - 4Q(2)
Find the maximum profit if the firm's total costs are fixed at $100. Estimate the new optimal profit if total costs rise to $101.
There are two workers. Each worker’s demand for a public good is P = 20 - Q.
The marginal cost of providing the public good is $24. The accompanying graph summarizes the relevant information.
a. What is the socially efficient quantity of the public good?
b. How much will each worker have to pay per unit to provide the socially
efficient quantity?
c. Suppose the two workers contribute the amount needed to provide the quality of public good you identified in parts (a) and (b). A third worker values the public good just like the two contributing workers, but she
claims not to value the good because she wants to “free ride” on the pay-
ments of the other two workers.
(1) Given the three workers’ true demands for the public good, is the amount
of the public good provided by the two workers socially efficient?
(2) Compare the level of consumer surplus enjoyed by these three workers.
Which worker(s) enjoys the most surplus?
A. Create a table of Production Schedule for Output X with Variable Labor Input using the Marginal Product Form.
