The accompanying figure depicts a generalized downward-sloping market demand (D) curve for a product. It also shows the firm's relevant marginal revenue (MR) curve and marginal cost (MC) curve. Use this figure to answer the questions that follow. Price $10 $8 $6 $4 $2 10 20 MR 30 40 D MC → 50 60 Quantity What is the change in total welfare if the firm moves from a monopolist model that charges a single price to a perfect competition model? There would be a loss of $160 in total welfare. O There would be a loss of $80 in total welfare. There would be a gain of $40 in total welfare. O There would be a gain of $120 in total welfare. O There would be no change in total welfare.
Please refer to the figure provided. Imagine that this market could be perfectly competitive, controlled by a monopolist who charges a single price or a monopolist who charges each customer a different price 1. How much is producer surplus if the market is controlled by a single-price monopolist? $ 2. Suppose now the monopolist is able to charge all customers the maximum price they are willing to pay, how much is the producer surplus?
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion A monopolist has a demand curve given by P = 88 − Q and a total cost curve given by TC = 34 + Q2. The associated marginal cost curve is MC = 2Q. Suppose the monopolist also has access to a foreign market in which he can sell whatever quantity he chooses at a constant price of 60. How much will he sell in the foreign market? What will his new quantity and price be in the original market?
