2. In the following table are demand and cost data for a pure monopolist. Complete the table by filling in the columns for total revenue, marginal revenue, and marginal cost. Answer these three questions: (a) What output will the monopolist produce? (b) What price will the monopolist charge? (c) What total profit will the monopolist receive at the profit-maximizing level of output?

BYOB is a monopolist in beer production and distribution in the imaginary economy of Hopsville. Suppose that BYOB cannot price discriminate; that is, it sells its beer at the same price per can to all customers. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and demand (D) for beer in this market. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for BYOB. If BYOB is making a profit, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. On the other hand, if BYOB is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing its loss. 4.00 Esc 3.50 + PRICE (Dollars per can) 3.00 + 2.50 78°F Sunny 2.00 1.50 1.00 + MC 0.50 + F1 1 F2 Ö- @ ATC F3 0+ # F4 F5 ▬ Monopoly Outcome 0 Profit COL F6 Loss O F7 1 F8 n F9 F10 F11 F12 2 Fn Lock ( 1 6/2 Insert Prt Sc

7. A monopolist faces inverse demand p(Q) = 22 - 2Q and has total cost function TC(Q) = 2Q. a. Calculate the equilibrium price, quantity, consumer surplus, and producer surplus if the monopolist must charge all consumers the same price. b. Suppose instead that the monopolist can perfectly price discriminate among consumers. What are the price, quantity, consumer surplus, and producer surplus now? c. Alternatively, the monopolist decides to charge a two-part tariff. What lump sum fee and price per unit should the monopolist charge if consumers are homogeneous?
3. The inverse market demand is P=100 – 2/3Q. The firms have cost functions TC1 = 15 + 3q1+ q1² TC2 = 20 + q2 + 2q2² Q = q1 +q2 a. Assume there is a multiplant monopoly and TC1 and TC2 represents the cost of production in each plant. How much quantity should each plant produce? b. Find the market price. c. Assume there is a multiplant monopoly. Would it make sense for the firm to close one of the plants? d. Does your answer change if TC2 = 20 + q2 + 2q2² changes to TC2 = 1000 + q2 + 2q² ? e. Explain your answer from the prior question- did your production change or remain the same?
Consider the electricity industry, in which there are very large fixed costs but also in which variable costs are directly proportional to total output so that the marginal cost of each unit produced is small and constant. a) Assuming that one firm has an electricity monopoly, draw a diagram that shows the price the monopolist charges and the quantity the monopolist sells at this price. Be sure to include marginal cost, average total cost, marginal revenue, and demand curves in your diagram. What happens if the electricity industry is perfectly competitive? More specifically, let us assume that the marginal cost curve from part (a) is equal to the perfectly competitive market supply curve. In this case, show in a diagram what the perfectly competitive equilibrium price and quantity in this industry are. What will happen to the number of firms producing electricity in the long run? What does this say about the desirability of monopoly vs. perfect competition in this industry?…

3. The figure presents the demand curve, marginal revenue, and marginal costs facing a monopolist producer. What is the profit-maximizing level of output? What price will the monopolist charge for the quantity in part a? Plot the profit-maximizing price and quantity from parts a and b on the graph. What are the efficiency costs (deadweight loss) of monopoly output/pricing? Provide a numerical answer and illustrate this area on the graph. What is consumer surplus under monopoly output/pricing? Illustrate this area on the graph.

3. A monopolist movie streaming service has two kinds of movies in its library - Action (A) and Romantic Comedies (R). Demand: There are two groups of consumers (Group X and Group Y) for the streaming service with the following value for each movie genre: Genre A Value Group X $100 Group Y $80 Value Group X $50 Group Y $70 Cost: The cost of streaming each type of content is MCA = $0, MCR = $60. Efficient Outcome a) Describe the efficient outcome by filling the table below Should X consume? (Y/N) Should Y consume? (Y/N) Consumption of A Consumption of R Total Efficient Surplus Genre R Surplus from efficient consumption (Value - Cost)
Please Answer part f . please draw the complete graph Suppose a monopolist faces demand D = 6 − Q and MR = 6 − 2Q, and has costs T C = 1 + 2Q, and MC = 2. The monopolist is unable to price discriminate. a. Derive the ATC. Is this a natural monopoly and why?. b. Draw the demand curve, MR, MC, ATC on a graph. Make sure to label the curves and axes clearly Calculate the value of the optimal Q and P. Label this on the graph of the previous question (part b). d. Calculate the value of the profit at this point. Also label this on the graph (part b). e. The government’s antitrust division determines this monopoly has too much market power. It has two options: break the monopoly into two smaller companies, or regulate it using a price ceiling. Which should it do and why?. f. The government has decided to enact the price ceiling. On the graph, label the price ceiling that maximizes consumer surplus. Indicate this consumer surplus on the graph (part b).
