able below shows the marginal revenue and costs for a monopolist. Demand, Costs, and Revenues Price (dollars) Quantity Demanded Marginal Revenue (dollars) Marginal Cost (dollars) Average Total Cost (dollars) $76 100 $76 $25 $139.00 71 200 66 68 103.30 66 300 56 56 87.50 61 400 46 82 86.00 56 500 36 76 84.00 51 600 26 48 78.00 Instructions: Enter your answer as a whole number. If you are entering a negative number include a minus sign. a. What is the monopolist's profit-maximizing level of output

Answer:

The profit maximizing output for a monopolist is the output level where marginal cost is equal to marignal revenue.

Explanation:

Price  Q Demanded Marginal Revenue Marginal Cost

$76     100                 $76                         $25

71        200                  66                           68

66       300                  56                           56

61        400                  46                           82

56       500                  36                           76

51        600                  26                           48

Arranging the information in the chart above, we can see that for a quantity demanded of 300 units, and a price of $66, marginal revenue and marginal cost are exactly the same, $56.

Thus, the profit-maximizing level of output is 300 units.

MANAGING THE HEWLETT-PACK..
William R. Hewlett and David Packard, two organisational leaders who demonstrated
a
Eventually they built a very successful company that now produces more than 10,000
products, such as computers, peripheral equipment, test and measuring instruments, and
handheld calculators. Perhaps even better known than its products is the distinct managerial
style preached and practiced at Hewlett-Packard (HP). It is known as the HP way.
The values of the founders - who withdrew from active management in 1978 - still
permeate the organization. The HP way emphasizes honesty, a strong belief in the value of
people, and customer satisfaction. The managerial style also emphasizes an open-door policy,
which promotes team effort. Informality in personal relationships is illustrated by the use of
first names. Management by objectives is supplemented by what is known as managing by
wandering around. By strolling through the organization, top managers keep in touch with
what is really going on in the company.
This informal organizational climate does not mean that the organization structure has
not changed. Indeed, the organizational changes in the 1980s in response to environmental
changes were quite painful. However, these changes resulted in extraordinary company
growth during the 1980s.
Questions :
1.Is the Hewlett-Packard way of managing creating a climate in which employees are
motivated to contribute to the aims of the organization? What is unique abot the HP way?
2.Would the HP managerial style work in any organization? Why, or why not? What are
the conditions for such a style to work​
