Question 4
please answer in text form and in proper format answer with must explanation , calculation for each part and steps clearly
Suppose a local utility company provides electricity to a small town. The figure to the right illustrates the utility company's marginal cost of providing electricity along with the town's demand for electricity. Part 2 Assume the local utility company is a monopoly. Use the triangle drawing tool to shade in the dead weight loss created by the monopoly (compared to if the market were perfectly competitive). Properly label this shaded area. Part 3 Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. ...

Suppose a monopoly can sell 1 unit for $20, or 2 units for $15 each. What is the marginal revenue of the 2nd unit? Question 9 options: $10 $0 $20, as this is the price when selling one unit $15 as this is the price when selling 2 units
Assume the following equations describe the conditions for a monopoly: Qd = 2,000 - 100P TC = 3,500 + 5q + .005q2 Where Qd is the quantity demanded, P is the commodity's price in dollars, TC is the firm's total cost in dollars and q is the quantity of output produced. Based upon these equations, answer the following questions: a. What is the firm's equation for total revenue expressed as a function of quantity? b. What is the firm's equation for marginal revenue expressed as a function of quantity? What is the firm's equation for marginal cost expressed as a function of quantity? c. What is the firm's profit maximizing quantity of output? d. What price will the firm charge for the commodity? e. What would be the socially optimal quantity of output? f. What price would regulators have to establish in order to have the firm produce the socially optimal quantity of output?

The graph shows the demand and cost conditions facing a perfectly competitive industry. If the industry is taken over by a monopoly, what is the deadweight loss that results from the behavior of the monopoly? The deadweight loss that results from the behavior of the monopoly is $ per year. >>> Remember that the quantity given on the x-axis is in thousands of pizzas.
