Choose the false statement about monopoly.O Natural monopolies usually enjoy economies of scale in production overa large range of output.○ The profit-maximizing monopolist sets its price as a percentage markupover the marginal cost.○ Patents are a possible reason for monopolies to exist.○ If the monopolist tries to sell one more unit, it faces a positive priceeffect and a negative quantity effect. Consider the labor market, i.e. the market for hours of work. Whenanalyzing labor markets, price is just the hourly wage (e.g. 10dollars an hour), and quantity is the number of hours demanded (byfirms) or supplied (by workers). Suppose the government imposes aminimum wage of $15 per hour. Select the true statement. (Hint: Ifthe market equilibrium is above the minimum wage anyway, it willnot have any effect. We say that it does not bind.)○ If the demand and supply functions are given by Q = 60 - 2P and Q =-10 + P, where Q is in million hours and P is in dollars per hour, theimposition of the minimum wage will cause a deadweight loss in themarket.○ If the demand and supply functions are given by Q = 10 - P and Q = P,where Q is in million hours and P is in dollars per hour, there will be anexcess demand for labor.All substantive statements are false.○ If the inverse demand function is P = 100 -15Q + 0.5Q², Q<=10, andthe supply function is Q = P²/24, where Q is in million hours and P is indollars per hour, the imposition of the minimum wage will cause themarket quantity of work hours to increase.

Assuming that the price is greater than the average variable cost, a monopolist maximizes profits at the output for which (picture a graph): O price is equal to marginal revenue in the downward part of the marginal cost curve O marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue in the upward sloping part of the marginal cost curve O average variable cost and average total cost are in the downward part of their curves and price is equal to marginal cost O average total cost is at the lowest point
Which of the following is most likely to be higher for a regulated natural monopoly than for an unregulated natural monopoly? * product variety quantity price O profit O deadweight loss
QUESTION 12 The table below shows a monopolist's demand curve and the cost information for the production of its good. What will their profits equal? Quantity Price per UnitTotal Cost 10 $100 20 $80 $60 $40 $20 O 30 40 50 a. $600 O b. $1,200 O c. $1,600 O d. $1,000 $100 $400 $800 $1,400 $2,400

If a monopolist with significant barriers to entry is making positive economic profit in the short run, what do we expect to happen as the market transitions to the long run? O The profit will increase since the monopolist has no competition, they can just raise the price to earn higher profits. O It will decrease as positive economic profit signals new firms to enter the market, increasing the market supply, and lowering the prevailing price. O It will increase, in the long run firms will drop out the market increasing the monopolists dominance in the marketplace. O The profit will stay the same, strong barriers to entry prevent new competition.
The inefficiency of the monopoly lies in the higher output that it sells and the lower price that it charges for its commodity. O True O False
