Draw a sketch of the graph to answer the following question: When the demand curve is more elastic, does the monopolist have more or less market power? Draw a sketch of demand curves, marginal revenue curves, and marginal cost curves to support your answer.
Consider a monopolist with the following demand curve. Price: 24, 22 , 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6 Quantity Demanded: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 [All answers are integers with no units.] 1.If this firm has a marginal cost of $12 per unit, how many will they produce? 2.What will their profit be? 3.What will consumer surplus be? (Rectangle method!) 4.What is the efficient quantity?
A country that ends a 22-year old state monopoly in telecoms. The phone services market in this country is illustrated by the following equations: Demand: p = 80−q MC: p=−40+2q 1.Draw the the demand, the MR and the MC of the monopolist in the following graph. 2.Suppose a state monopoly on the phone services market. In this case, indicate the price paid by consumers and the quantity exchanged, and calculate the welfare loss compared to the optimal situation. 3.Now consider the situation after the abolition of the state monopoly. With the phone services market now competitive, the state is losing customers, and therefore also losing revenue as a result of new companies entering the market. To compensate for the drop in revenue, the government decides to impose an excise tax of $30 on the phone services market. In this case, indicate the price paid by consumers and the quantity exchanged, and calculate the welfare loss compared to the optimal situation. 4.Give an economic…
The monopolist faces the following demand curve: Price $20 Quantity 15 $19.50 16 $19 17 $18.50 18 $18 19 $17.50 20 $17 21 $16.50 22 $16 23 If the monopolist has total fixed costs of $40 and a constant marginal cost of $10, how much profit can the firm earn at the profit-maximizing level of output?
Suppose a monopolist sets output and lets the market determine the price. Given the monopolist's demand curve (D) and marginal cost schedule (MC), as depicted in the following diagram, answer the following questions: a) b) c) d) e) f) 9) Price MC D Quantity Precisely draw the marginal revenue curve corresponding to the demand curve (D) and label it as MR in the diagram. Identify the price and the output level that the monopolist would choose. Using the diagram drawn in part (a), identify the producer surplus that the monopolist will receive. In the same diagram, identify the consumer surplus corresponding to the monopoly outcome. Identify on the diagram what output and the price charged would be if the market were perfectly competitive. Is the monopoly equilibrium Pareto efficient? Provide reasons for your answer. Explain under which pricing conditions the monopolist would produce an efficient level of output.

A monopolist sells in two markets. What conditions must hold for the firm to be able to charge different prices in the two markets?
A monopoly will always produce at a lower price than a firm under perfect competition if the monopolist experiences economies of scale. True or false?
1. A firm faces the following inverse demand curve: P = 500 - 0.25Q Where: Q is the monthly production P is price, measured in dollars per unit. The firm also has a total cost (TC) function of: TC = 200Q. Assuming the firm maximizes profits, answer the following: a) Assuming the firm operates as a monopolist, calculate the following: price, quantity, and profit. Graph and show the equilibrium price and quantity. b) Assuming perfect competition, what are price, quantity and profit? Show on the graph from above.
Consider a monopolist operating on a market with a downward sloping demand curve. The monopolist has a constant marginal cost and no fixed cost. At the current level of production and at the current price level, the price elasticity of demand is equal to -0.8. Assume the monopolist wishes to maximise profits. Would we be able to say anything about whether the monopolist has chosen a price and quantity that maximise profits? Explain your answer by means of diagrams (maximum 150 words) 2. What is the price elasticity of supply in this market?
