Suppose that the quantity of natural gas demanded in a city is 70 billion cubic meters when the price is $0.24 per cubic meter. The table below shows the total costs for a firm supplying natural gas to this market. Is the firm a natural monopoly? Quantity (billion m³) 20 30 40 50 60 70 Total cost ($ billion) 4.5 6. 9.0 12.0 15.5 19.5 No, because two or more firms could satisfy the entire market demand at a lower total cost than a single firm can. No, because two or more firms could satisfy the entire market demand at a lower average total cost than a single firm can. Yes, because a single firm can satisfy the entire market demand at a lower total cost than two or more firms could. Yes, because a single firm can satisfy the entire market demand at a lower average total cost than two or more firms could.

Suppose a monopoly firm produces scooters and can sell 15 scooters per month at a price of $900 per scooter. In order to increase sales by one scooter per month, the monopolist must lower the price of its scooter by $25 to $875 per scooter. The marginal revenue of the 16th scooter is $25. $500. O $14,000. $27,500.
A patent gave Sony a legal monopoly to produce a robot dog called Aibo. The Chihuahua-size pooch robot can sit, chase balls, dance, and play an electronic tune. When Sony started selling the toy in July 1999, it announced that it would sell 3,000 Aibo robots in Japan for about $2,000 each and a limited litter of in the United States for $2,500 each. Suppose that Sony's marginal cost of producing Aibos is $500.Its inverse demand curve is Pj= 3500−0.5Qj in Japan and Pa =4500−Qa Solve for the equilibrium prices and quantities (assuming that U.S. customers cannot buy robots from Japan). The equilibrium quantity in Japan is ____and the price, Pj is $____
