The government has announced its plans to license two firms to serve a market whose demand curve is given by P- 72- 1Q The technology is such that each can produce any given level of output at zero cost, but once each firm's output is chosen, It cannot be altered Instructions: Round your answers to the nearest penny (2 decimal places). a. What is the most you would be willing to pay for one of these licenses if you knew you would be able to choose your level of output first (assuming your choice was observable by the ival firm)? b. How much would your rival be wiling to pay for the right to choose second?

The following diagram illustrates the demand curve facing a monopoly in an industry with no economies or diseconomies of scale and no fixed costs. In the short and long run, MC = ATC. 1.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the monopoly output and monopoly price (Monopoly) in the figure to the right. Attach the appropriate provided label. 2.) Using the rectangle drawing tool, shade in monopoly profits (Profit). Attach the appropriate provided label. 3.) Using the triangle drawing tool, shade in the "excess burden" or "welfare costs" of the monopoly (Excess burden). Attach the appropriate provided label. Note: Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. The monopoly creates excess burden because O A. it produces where price equals marginal cost. B. it produces an inefficiently large amount of output. O C. it charges a price that is too low. D. it produces where marginal cost is positive. E. it produces where price is above marginal cost.

Consider the following information for a regional cable television service provider that is a natural monopoly and has a U-shaped long-run average cost curve. (Assume the service provided is basic cable and units are household connections.) minimum LRAC = $9.00 per month minimum efficient scale = 2 million units current output = 1.7 million units current LRAC = $10.25 per month Suppose the firm is currently being regulated and is required to follow a marginal-cost pricing policy. The price of the service will be lower than $9.00 $9.00 lower than $10.25 $10.25 higher than $10.25 000 per month.
There are two ice-cream parols on a beach. The dayly demand for ice-creams is given by Q = 3079 - 3p. The average variable cost of an ice-cream is 70, while the rent of the place is 966. How many ice-creams is the 'Leader' company selling if the two ice-cream stands operate as Stackelberg duopolists? (Please use 2 decimals in your answer.)
Please note: Parts a, b, and c are already answered. Please answer part d which has two subparts. You are the manager of a monopoly with costs, demand, and marginal revenue as in the graph at the top of Figure 1 attached. d. Suppose economic conditions change in such a way that the demand curve for your company shifts left.i. Draw a demand curve on the bottom graph on Figure 1 that leads to zero economic profits.ii. Draw a demand curve on the bottom graph on Figure 1 such that any further leftward demand shift will cause you to shutdown.
The figure below represents the demand and cost functions facing a Belarusian monopolist producing mineral fertilizer. 1) If it were unable to export, and was constrained by its domestic market, what quantity would it sell at what price? 2) How much is the international price and what quantity is produced? 3) The Belarusian firm is charging its foreign (Russian) customers one half the price it is charging its domestic customers. Is this good or bad for the real income or economic welfare of Russia? 4) Is this predatory behavior on the part of the Belarusian mineral fertilizer company? Is the Belarusian firm engaged in dumping? Please explain Dumping by Monopolist Price 20 MC 16 Dfor = MRfor 10 Ddom MRdom Quantity 10 20
A monopoly book publisher with a constant marginal cost (and average cost) of MC = 11 sells a novel in only two countries and faces a linear inverse demand curve of in Country 1 and P₂ = 15 - Q₂ in Country 2. What price would a profit-maximizing monopoly charge in each country with and without a ban against shipments between countries? P₁ = 6-0.5Q₁ With a ban against shipments between countries, the monopoly sell Country 1 Q₁ = | and Country 2 Q₂ =| units units. (Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.)

Do this problem using excel solver. Africa controls 80% of the world's lithium refining, a material needed for the production of lithium batteries in electric vehicles. The demand for lithium batteries is P = $20,000 - 2.5 Q, where Q is in tons and P is in $/ton. The long run marginal and average cost of production is constant at $2,000/ton. a) Assuming the monopoly model applies, determine price, quantity, and profit for Africa using excel solver b) Now assume new firms enter the lithium market, resulting in (perfect) competition. Determine the price, quantity, and profits, when the industry is in (long run) equilibrium using excel solver c) Finally, compare social welfare for the two cases, and determine deadweight loss using excel solver.
The cost function for producing ethanol from municipal waste (wastehol) is 1000+10q2where q is in millions/gallons per year. The demand for wastehol is currently perfectly inelastic at 5 million gallons per year. Assume that producers of wastehol are perfectly competitive. California is deciding whether to convert all wastehol producers into a regulated wastehol utility. If wastehol is a regulated monopoly utility with the cost function above, what price would regulators set as the price of wastehol? Now assume that the wasteahol market has boomed and demand has grown to 20 (again million gallons per year). Now what is the regulated price of wastehol? You are the wastehol producer and are trying to decide whther to lobby for deregulating the wastehol industry. If wastehol were deregulated, if demand remains 20, what would the perfectly competitive price be? If you are a wastehol customer, you would prefer a deregulated industry if demand were 20? True/False?
Hi, I'm still confused on this question. How to find the prices, pA and pNZ, which maximise MiniChirp’s profits, assuming no capacity constraints?
