Question
I just need an answer for part d) and part e).
Answer I got for b) was Q=12, P=36, Profit=120, and CS=144.
Answer I got for c) was minimum

Transcribed Image Text:11) Suppose the city of LA is considering a proposal to award an exclusive contract to an electricity
provider. The demand function has been estimated to be P = 60 – 2Q and the total cost function has been
estimated to be
TC(Q) = 240 + 0.5Q? where Q is the number of internet contracts (in thousands) and P is the price of
monthly internet service.
a. What would be the allocatively efficient price and quantity?
b. What price and quantity would be expected if the firm can operate completely unregulated? What is the
firm's profit? What is the consumer surplus?
c. What would be the minimum price charged to the marginal consumer if the firm can execute first degree
price discrimination? What is the firm's profit? What is the consumer surplus?
d. Would it be feasible to regulate this firm with an allocatively efficient price cap?
e. Calculate the deadweight loss in parts B and C. Identify the DWL on a graph.
