Can you think of any examples of successful predatory pricing in the real world?
Imagine that you ale managing a small firm and thinking about entering the market of a monopolist. The monopolist is currently charging a high price, and you have calculated that you can make a nice profit charging 10 less than the monopolist. Before you go ahead and challenge the monopolist, what possibility should you consider for how the monopolist might react?
If a monopoly firm is earning profits, how much would you expect these profits to be diminished by entry in the long run?

Suppose the market for Hula Hoops is monopolized by a single firm. a. Draw the initial equilibrium for such a market. b. Now suppose the demand for Hula Hoops shifts outward slightly. Show that, in general (contrary to the competitive case), it will not be possible to predict the effect of this shift in demand on the market price of Hula Hoops. c. Consider three possible ways in which the price elasticity of demand might change as the demand curve shifts: It might increase, it might decrease, or it might stay the same. Consider also that marginal costs for the monopolist might be increasing, decreasing, or constant in the range where MR=MC Consequently, there are nine different combinations of types of demand shifts and marginal cost slope configurations. Analyze each of these to determine for which it is possible to make a definite prediction about the effect of the shift in demand on the price of Hula Hoops.

O OO The above graph shows the market demand function for a product. Assume that the market is served by a perfectly-price-discriminating monopolist with a constant marginal cost of production equal to $4 (MC = $4) and no fixed cost (FC = 0). The deadweight loss equals: DWL - $72 DWL - $0 DWL- -$48 DWL - $84 DWL-$36 $30 $28 $26 $24 $22 $20 Question 23 $18 $16 $14 $12 $10 $8 $6 $4 $2 $0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
