Draw an upward-sloping supply curve and a downward sloping demand curve. The market is initially unregulated, for a competitive market, with a market output of Q*. The government limits output in the market to Q < Q*. Label areas on the diagram that use to answer the following questions. (many ways to label the areas, just be very clear.) a. What is the consumer surplus before and after the regulation? b. What is the producer surplus before and after the regulation? c. What is the deadweight loss (if any) before and after regulation?

Could you also answer the following questions too. If Big Top is regulated to charge a price equal to average total cost, what is the quantity of tickets sold, the price of a ticket, and economic profit? If Big Top is regulated to produce the efficient output, what is the quantity of tickets sold, what is the price of a ticket, and what would be the consumer surplus?

Question 4: a. The Best Computer Company just developed a new computer processor, on which it immediately acquires a patent. (i) Assuming that the production of the processor involves rising marginal cost, draw a diagram to illustrate Best Computer's profit-maximizing price and quantity. Also show Best Computer's profits. (ii) Now suppose that the government imposes a tax on each unit of the computer processor produced. On a new diagram, illustrate Best Computer's new price and quantity. How does each compare to your answer in part (i)? (iii) Draw a diagram that shows the consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus in the market for this new processor. iv) What happens to these three measures of surplus if the firm can perfectly price discriminate? What is the change in deadweight loss? What transfers occur?
