    This video is a gift for all who want to learn monopoly profit maximization, you did it in an easy and understandable way, now i can face my exam with ease.
    Thanks a lot :), keep doing such good work.

    To find where the demand curve crosses the x-axis, set P = 0 in the demand equation and solve for Q. For example, if P = 130 - 0.50Q, plug 0 in for P to get: 0 = 130 - 0.50Q. Now, solving for Q, we get 130 = 0.50Q, which simplifies to Q = 130/0.50 = 260.

    Thanks for the videos Professor, you have really helped me understand stuff for my upcoming Microeconomics exam! One quick note: On the DWL calculation, the base of the DWL triangle is 110-40, not 110-90. So, the DWL turns out to be 70x8/2=280$. Other than that, great and informative vid as always!

    • @EconomicsinManyLessons
      @EconomicsinManyLessons  Год назад +1

      The efficient level of output occurs where the marginal cost curve intersects the demand curve. At this intersection, the good's price will equal marginal cost or p = mc. The monopolist's output is inefficient because it produces less than the efficient level of output, charging a price that exceeds marginal cosr.

    I think there is a mistake in ascertaining the MR function above...since the TR function is 130q-5q². The derivative of 130q will be 130 and the derivative of 5q² becomes 10q so the MR function becomes 130-10q over there and the profit maximization quantity is 10 units this way

      If you have a total cost function, you will need to take the derivative of it to get MC. If your example assumes MC = 0, set your MR equation equal to 0 and then solve for Q...you will find that the profit maximizing price and quantity will be at the midpoint of the demand curve.
