- Use the graph to the right for a monopoly to answer the questions. What quantity will the monopoly produce, and what price will the monopoly charge? The monopoly will produce 84 units and charge $ 3.4 per unit. (Enter numeric responses using real numbers rounded to two decimal places.) Suppose the government decides to regulate this monopoly and imposes a price ceiling of $2.60 (in other words, the monopoly can charge less than $2.60 but can't charge more). Now what quantity will the monopoly produce, and what price will the monopoly charge? The monopoly will produce units and charge $ unit. per ...) cost per unit Price and 4.80- 4.40- 4.00- 3.60- 3.20- 2.80 2.40- 2.00- 1.60- 1.20- 0.80 0.40+ 0- 0 MC 16 32 48 60 72 84 96 108 120 132 14.

In the absence of free trade, complete the following: A) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity. B) Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus (note the shape), and total surplus. Now, suppose the home market opens up to free trade ant that the world price is $60 per unit. C) Calculate the home firm's quantity (supplied), home quantity (demanded), import quantity, and price. D) Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus. Now, suppose the home market opens up to free trade, but imposes a tariff of $10. E) Calculate teh equilibrium price and…arrow_forwardThere are claims saying that free flow of trade prevents monopoly. However, free flow of trade may cause monopoly through predatory pricing. For instance, a foreign industry may dump its goods in a country with free flow of goods strategy. Thus, it forces other rivals out of the market, and will get a monopoly position. Please provide a counter-argument for the above claimarrow_forward

And let the inverse demand for oil be P = 300 - 2Q, and the marginal cost of producing oil be MC = Q. Standard Oil, during the second half of the 19th century, can be modeled as a monopsony. If we assume the oil market is a monopsony, what is the quantity produced in equilibrium? Give the exact value up to two sig figs after the decimal point.arrow_forward
