Seth owns a local business that provides email updates on surf conditions. He is the only supplier of these email updates in San

ta Barbara and Goleta, which gives him a monopoly in both cities. The marginal cost of producing another update is zero (and we'll ignore fixed costs). The inverse demand for these updates in Santa Barbara is p = 74-q and the inverse demand in Goleta is p = 39 - 4q. Suppose Seth charges different uniform prices in SB and Goleta. If Seth sets each price such that he is maximizing his total profits, what are Seth's total profits?

Answer:

Seth's total profits is $1,535.359

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

MC = 0 and we will ignore fixed costs

Therefore TC = 0  

Demand function in Santa barbara is

p = 74 - q  

MR = 74 - 2q

Since Seth sets different uniform prices in two markets to maximizes his profit therefore ,

MR = MC  

74 - 2q = 0  

2q = 74

q=37

p = 74 - 37 = 37

Profit = pq - TC

= 37*37 - 0  

= $1,369

Inverse demand finction Goleta is

p = 39 - 4q

MR = 39 - 8q

MR = MC

39 - 8q = 0  

8q = 39

q = 4.875

p = 39 - 4.875 = 34.125

Profit = pq - TC  

= 34.125*4.875 - 0  

= $166.359

Therefore, Seth's total profits =  $1,369 + $166.359

Seth's total profits= $1,535.359

Seth's total profits is $1,535.359

MissTica

Answer:

1

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

In a perfect monopoly, there is only one firm operating in the industry

In a  monopolistic competition, differentiated products are sold

In an oligopoly, there are few large firms
