A monopolist's demand curve is given by:
 
  p = 100 + A1/2  Q
  where Q is the quantity of output and A is the quantity of advertising. Suppose the cost of advertising and output is given by:
   C(Q,A) = 10Q + A
  Determine the profit maximizing quantity of output and advertising.

Question 2

Which of the following cost relationships is not true?
 
  A) AFC = AC - MC
  B) TVC = TC - TFC
  C) The change in TVC/the change in Q = MC

Answer to Question 1

The monopolist maximizes profit
Profit = (100 + A1/2  Q)Q  10Q + A
The first order conditions are:
dProfit/dQ = 100  2Q  10 = 0
dProfit/dA = .5A-1/2Q  1 = 0
Solve the first condition to find Q= 45. Use this to solve the second conditions for A = 506.

Answer to Question 2

A

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
