- PLEASE ANSWER QUESTION C) ONLY The SolarFarm powerplant has both fixed and variable costs. As the plant expands production, it first has constant returns to scale, and then diminishing returns to scale. (a) Draw a large graph showing (only) the firm’s marginal costs and average total costs in a suitably labelled graph. Show on the graph where the firm’s technology changes from constant-returns to diminishing-returns.SolarFarm is a monopolist with a downward sloping demand curve. Add to your graph a demand and marginal revenue curve. Assume that the demand curve intercepts the average cost curve at its minimum point. Show the quantity and price of electricity in this market.(b) The government connects SolarFarm to a nearby town that is currently without electricity. Show in a new, large, graph how the market price and quantity of electricity sold change as a result.(c) Return to the situation in part (a) of this question.

Monopoly, Practice Question Firm P is a monopolist for a new drug that makes people feel thinner. the total cost function is C(Q) = 200 + 10Q + Q² The inverse demand function is p(Q) = 82 - Q (a) By how much do revenues increase if this firm sells one more (small) unit of output? By how much does its cost go up if it produces one more (small) unit of output? (b) What is the optimal price and quantity the monopolist should charge and sell? (c) What is the profit the monopolist makes? Should the firm shut down in the short or long run? (d) If the company increases its price by a small fraction (let us say 1%), by what proportion does demand go down?
