A student argues, "If a monopolist finds a way of producing a good at lower cost, he will not lower his price. Because he is a monopolist, he will keep the price and the quantity the same and just increase his profit." Do you agree? Use the line drawing tool to graph a new marginal cost curve refecting the lower cost of production. Label this Ine 'MC, MC, Careluly follow the instrvetions above, and only draw the required objects. According to your graph, when producing at lower cost, the profè-maximizing price is unchanged lower MR higher Quantity unchanged Price and cost

Draw an example of a monopoly with a linear demand curve and a constant marginal cost curve. a. Show the profit-maximizing price and output  and  and identify the areas of consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss. Also show the quantity  that would be produced if the monopoly were to act like a price taker. b. Now suppose that the demand curve is a smooth concave-to-the-origin curve (whose ends hit the axes) that is tangent to the original demand curve at the point  Explain why the monopoly equilibrium will be the same as with the linear demand curve. Show how much output the firm would produce if it acted like a price taker. Show how the welfare areas change. c. Repeat the exercises in part b if the demand curve is a smooth convex-to-the-origin curve (whose ends hit the axes) that is tangent to the original demand curve at the point    

Suppose 2 gas stations must post their prices for regular gasoline at 6am each morning and cannot change their price during the day. Each gas station has a choice: charge a relatively “low” price or charge a relatively “high” price.  The following shows their profit for the day of each gas station depending upon which price each gas station chooses:   Gas Station  B     Low Price High Price Gas Station A Low Price $2000, $900 $500, $1500   High Price $1200, $1800 $300, $2100 Assume that this is a "one shot" game: 4. Does this game represent a prisoner’s dilemma situation? Why or why not? 5. If the gas stations can talk the night before making their pricing decision and discuss their pricing strategies, what pricing strategy would each gas station choose the next morning?  Assuming both gas stations act rationally, what will be the outcome of the game?  Explain.

The figure shows what type of market?   >>Please add an explanation of how natural monopoly differs in graph vs. normal monopoly.

In the attached graph is a depiction of a monopoly.  At what output should he or she produce?  What price should they charge for the product? Is the firm making profits or losses?

Suppose that there are 7 potential purchasers of a Krustyburger. Each individual will buy at most one burger and Krustyburger has a monopoly. The table below lists their maximum willingness to pay and their ages. The cost of production for each Krustybarger is zero Name, age Maximum Willingness to Pay $4 Marge, 34 Homer, 38 $10 $3 Lisa, 7 Maggie, 2 Ned, 46 Quimby, 50 Bart, 9 $1 $3 $7 $3 Suppose that instead, they have two prices: one price for adults (over the age of 12) and one for children. What price will they set for each? a. The price for adults will be 57 and the price for children will be $3 Ob. The price for adults will be $3 and the price for children will be $1 O The price for adults will be $4 and the price for children will be $3 Od. The price for adults will be $10 and the price for children will be $3

Is it a dominant strategy? Explain why or why not. Which strategy should Gas Station B choose? Is it a dominant strategy? Explain why or why not What is the outcome for each Gas Station?  How much profits will each Gas Station earn? Explain. Does this game represent a prisoner’s dilemma situation? Why or why not?
