  1. a. Calculate MR and equate it to MC. MC = MR
  • 10 + 0.10Q2^ = 10 - 0.2Q 0.1Q2^ + 0.2Q - 20 = 0 The quadratic formula yields: Q1 = 13.17 Q2 = - 15.15. Use Q1 since negative quantities are not meaningful. At Q1 = 13. P = 10 - 0.1(13.17) = 8. b. Computation of monopoly power. The Lerner index is computed below: L = P^ - P^ MC At Q = 13.17, P = 8.68, and MC = 7. L = (8.68 - 7.34)/8.68 = 0.
