Currently the market for domestic air travel in OzLand is a monopoly with Qanwings as the supplier. A new supplier, Cheap Flights, enters the market. Suppliers in the market compete by simultaneously choosing the quantity of flights they will supply. Which of the following is most likely to occur after the entry of the new supplier to the market for domestic air travel? a.The total quantity of flights will increase. b.The total quantity of flights will not change. c.The total quantity of flights will decrease. d. It is not possible to say what will happen to the quantity of flights.
The accompanying graph depicts a hypothetical monopoly. Follow instuctions 1−3 below to identify the monopoly's profits. Place point E at the monopoly's profit maximizing price and quantity. Move the average total cost (ATC) curve to a position that depicts the monopoly earning a positive profit. Place the area labeled Profit in the area of the graph that represents the monopoly's profit.
In British Columbia, Canada a company named after Tim Hortons runs a monopoly on a sweet snack called Timbits! Suppose the demand for Timbits is P=90-Q and the cost function is C-Q How much would the consumer surplus, producer surplus and DWL be in case Tim Hortons a single-price monopoly? Suppose Tim Hortons could install a device in its premises that could immediately 11) predict the willingness to pay of every unsuspecting customer entering its franchise premises and charge them that corresponding amount! Additionally, suppose they could also stop resale of products, and thus become a first degree price discriminatıng monopoly. How much would the consumer surplus, producer surplus and DWL be in this case?
Exercise A.6 A monopolist facing the demand curve Q = 42 – 0.6P operates with constant average and marginal costs equal to 20. a) Calculate the quantity, price and profit obtained by the monopolist. Represent graphically. (b) What quantity, what price and what benefit will you get if you can apply first-degree price discrimination? Calculate the consumer surplus and represent graphically. c) The monopolist warns that he can separate consumers into two distinct groups with demands Q1 = 12 - 0.1P1 and Q2 = 30 - 0.5P2. Calculate the quantities, the prices you will set in each market, and the profit you will make. Represent graphically.

v THE VIRTUAL MONOPOLY OF EPIPENS BY THE APLIA ECONOMICS CONTENT TEAM In 2007, as part of a $6.7 billion deal with Merck & Co., Inc., one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, Mylan N.V., an American generic and specialty pharmaceuticals company, acquired the EpiPen, an epinephrine injection device used to treat the potentially fatal allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis. At the time, EpiPen was not a household brand that everyone knew, but efforts by Mylan's CEO Heather Bresch changed the landscape for this device. According to Jen Wieczner, in an article in Fortune: "She poured marketing resources into the product, and embarked on an awareness and political campaign to get more EpiPens into schools and other public institutions. Today, 47 states have laws about making epinephrine auto-injectors available at school in case of an anaphylaxis incident, largely as a result of Bresch's efforts" (Jen Wieczner, "Mylan CEO Blamed Obama Care for EpiPen Sticker Shock,"…
(d) Is the output produced by the perfectly price-discriminating monopolist allocatively efficient? Explain.
Price EQ A Market for Product X B S Quantity If the market for Product X is a monopoly, how might the business that produces Product X raise the equilibrium price of the product? D The business can increase production of product X, because doing so would shift the supply curve left and create a surplus. The business can increase production of product X, because doing so would shift the supply curve right and create
Assume that builder XYZ is a monopoly in Sydney’s Southwest, who specialises in apartment construction. (a) Draw a diagram to illustrate XYZ making economic profits before the implementation of the hard lockdown in Sydney’s Southwest. On your diagram clearly indicate the quantity XYZ is choosing to produce and the price XYZ is choosing to charge. (b) Assuming costs remain constant and that that the construction industry is still allowed to operate normally, explain the impact of Sydney’s lockdown on builder XYZ’s demand from Q2 part (a). With the aid of a new diagram, discuss XYZ’s static profit or loss situation after these changes. Clearly indicate the quantity XYZ is choosing to produce and the price XYZ is choosing to charge. (c) Assume that XYZ survives the lockdown and stays in business. If the NSW government decides to double the first home buyer’s grant, explain the impact on XYZ’s demand. With the aid of a new diagram, discuss XYZ’s static profit or loss situation after this…
