A monopoly produces a good with a network extemality at a constant marginal and average cost of c$2. in the first period, its inverse demand curve is p-10-10 in the second period, is inverse demand curve is p-10-10 unesses at least 8 units in the first period. It meets or exceeds this target, then the demand curve rotates out by demand curve is The monopoly knows that I can sell no output after the second period. The monopoly's objective is to maximize the sum of its profits over the two periods For what values of a would the monopoly eam a higher two period profit by setting a lower price in the first period? a greater than found your answer to two decimal places) price), so that its invert

Show that a monopoly will not necessarily lower its price by the same percentage as its constant marginal cost drops: 1.) Use the point drawing tool to indicate the initial equilibrium price and quantity. Label this point 'E'. 2.) Use the line drawing tool to show a 50 percent decrease in marginal cost. Label this line 'MC₁'. 3.) Use the point drawing tool to indicate the new equilibrium price and quantity. Label this point 'E,'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. What is the percentage change in the price given a 50 percent decrease in marginal cost? The price decreased by percent. (round your answer to two decimal places) 50- 45- 40 35- 30- 25- 20-1 15- 10- 5 Price, P 10 20 30 -MC MR D 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Quantity, Q

Why is this true?: When a monopoly chooses a quanity or price combination that is on the price inelastic portion of the linear market demand cuve, it is not maximizing profit. Explain why.
