Question
a) You might have experienced differential prices in your daily life. Please share your experience
and explain why the service providers were able to charge you different prices at different places?
b) How did the service provider, you benefited from, make the differential prices work?
c) Do you think Monopoly increases general welfare?
What stops oligopolists from acting together as a monopolist and earning the highest possible level of profits? Is there a way for oligopolists to attempt to cooperate and maximize profits? What are the risks of such attempts (and ultimately, generally cause such attempts to fail)?
Suppose the local electrical company, a legal monopoly based on economies of scale, was split into four firms of equal size, with the idea that eliminating the monopoly would promote competitive pricing of electricity. What do you anticipate would happen to prices? Why?

- A monopolist sells boat insurance policies linked to their registrations in two states, and resales between the two states is not allowed, as the registrations are in line with the rules set in each state. The demand curves for car insurance policies in the two states are: P1 = 200 – Q1 P2 = 150 – Q2 The monopoly's marginal cost is $50. a. Find the equilibrium quantity and price charged in each state. b. How would change the outcome if the monopolist’s marginal cost increases from $50 to $70 only in the first state for the company being able to discriminate prices between states? c. What would be the outcome if the government applies a tax of $30 per insurance (unit) to the latest scenario presented in b)? d.

- Explain the concept of the Deadweight Loss? Why is a monopoly firm more likely to be able to earn a profit in the long run compared to a monopolistic competitive firm?arrow_forwardHow does the monopoly determine the level of output that maximizes profit? Group of answer choices By determining where marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost. A monopoly does not need to calculate where maximum profit occurs because they have no competition and can set any price they want for their product. By determining where total revenue equals marginal cost. By multiplying price by marginal cost.arrow_forwardBased on the demand curve you showed in question 2 above, what is the minimum and maximum price you can charge for your product? This does not mean that you will, in fact, charge the minimum or maximum price. It simply gives you an idea of the range of prices your demand curve allows you to charge. What are the quantities corresponding to the minimum and maximum price? Please show your work and explain how you calculated these prices and quantities. The demand curve I showed in question 2: P-16-4Qarrow_forward
- We learned that in a competitive market equilibrium the Marginal Cost equals the Price, as Marginal Revenue is the same as Price for a perfectly competitive seller. Now, how does the Marginal Cost compare to Price at the monopolist's profit maximizing output and price combination? If Price is generally seen as the monetized Marginal Benefit to consumers of the product and Price exceeds Marginal Cost, then this is allocatively inefficient, as Marginal Benefit exceeds Marginal Cost.arrow_forwardDoes the presence of online auction sites, such as eBay, make it easier or harder for traditional retailers and wholesalers to engage in profitable price discrimination? It won't make a difference. Easier. Harder.arrow_forwardWhat stops oligopolists from acting together as a monopolist and earning the highest possible level of profits?arrow_forward
