Question

Transcribed Image Text:You have been granted a monopoly in the
avocado market. The market demand for
avocados is Q = 2000 – 2P. Your cost
structure is such that your total costs are TC =
1000+ 400Q. (limit: whatever needed)
What is your profit maximizing price and
quantity? Explain this in words and show it
graphically.
What are the profit, producer surplus and
consumer surplus?
The government is thinking about breaking
your monopoly into ten identical firms and
giving ownership to 10 random people.
Correspondingly, each firm would have a
fixed cost of $1000 and a marginal production
cost of $400 per unit. In this perfectly
competitive environment, what would be the
equilibrium price and quantity? Explain this in
words and show it graphically.
What are the profit per firm, producer surplus
and consumer surplus that correspond to your
answer to part d)?
How much would you be willing to pay to
keep the government from taking your
monopoly away? Explain.
