Suppose there is only one firm (a monopolist) and that all workers have identical wage-safety preferences. Workers are receiving wage $3.2 and safety level 4, and the firm is making profit $94. S. Draw a graph accurately depicting this situation. If the workers are in a union and decide to go on strike, it will cost the firm $33. If the strike occurs the firm's profit will be Is there more than one wage-safety combination that the union would prefer over the current combination? (Enter 1 for "yes", and 0 for "no") On the same graph, shade in the combinations (if any) which the union prefers over the current combination. If there are none write "none" on your graph. Is there more than one wage-safety combination the monopolist would prefer to offer rather than endure a strike? (Enter 1 for "yes", and 0 for "no")

Using illustration differentiate the behavior of a monopolist that aims at maximizing profit and a monopolist that aims at maximizing revenue
Suppose a monopolist sells a product to faculty members and students on the campus. If the firm sets a single price, the monopolist produces 5000 units and sell them at the price of $3 per unit. At this price, the price elasticity of demand for faculty member is -2.5. And the price elasticity of demand for students is -1.5. The monopolist is considering whether she should set different prices for the faculty members and students and asks for your advice. The monopolist is thinking about charging faculty members a 10% higher price. The quantity demanded by the faculty members would fall by %. The monopolist is thinking about charging students a 10% higher price. The quantity demanded by the students would fall by %. Who should the monopolist charge more? mention faculty and students and how much

Show that if Pete increases production by 100 utensils he will earn more profit, assuming that Pat sticks with the quantity you found above, which is half of what would be produced if the industry were controlled by a monopoly. Next, calculate what profit each would make if Pat also cheats by producing 100 more utensils. Assuming that they both calculate that the other will "cheat" and produce at this higher amount, would either have an incentive to further overproduce? What would happen to either seller's profit by producing another 100 more units? If cheating beyond this point will drive down one's own profit, and thus is not in anyone's interest, could this point be called a "Nash" equilibrium?

The graph depicts the market for cable where there is one natural monopoly; AC represents average (total) cost, D represents market demand, and MR represents marginal revenue. Assume that the marginal cost is equal to 0. Suppose that before the cable company lays any cable, the government decides to regulate the monopoly by setting the price. What is the lowest price that regulators can impose while ensuring that the cable company enters the market? 2 What will a monopolist charge in the absence of any regulation? 4 Price $10 9 8 7 6 5 4- 3- تیا 2 1 0 1 AC 2 MR نیا D 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Households (in millions)
