Kalamazoo Competition-free Concrete (KCC) is a local monopolist of ready-mix concrete. Its annual demand function is Qd = 16,000 – 200P, where P is the price, in dollars, of a cubic yard of concrete and Q is the number of cubic yard sold per year. Suppose that Kalamazoo’s marginal cost is $20 per cubic yard and its avoidable fixed cost $100,000 per year. What is its profit-maximizing sales quantity and price? How would your answer change if Kalamazoo had an avoidable fixed cost of $200,000 a year? What if that $200,000 fixed cost were instead sunk? [Hint: Recall that when the fixed cost is sunk, the monopolist has to pay $200,000 in cost even if he decides to shut down.]
