10 Based on market research, a film production company in Ectenia obtains the following information about the demand and production costs of its new 4K Blu-ray:

Demand: P = 1000 - 100 Total revenue: TR = 10000 - 1002 Marginal revenue: MR = 1000 - 200 Marginal cost: MC = 100 + 100 where O indicates the number of copies sold and Pis the price in Ectenian dollars.

a Find the price and quantity that maximise the company's profit.

b Find the price and quantity that would maximise social welfare.

c Calculate the deadweight loss from monopoly.

a flat fee of 2000 Ectenian dollars.

ii 50 per cent of the profits.

iii 150 Ectenian dollars per unit sold.

iv 50 per cent of the revenue.
