The graph illustrates an industry in which many firms operating in perfect competition are taken over by one firm that operates as a single-price monopoly. Draw the following shapes: 1) the consumer surplus arising from monopoly. Label it CS. 2) the deadweight loss arising from monopoly. Label it DWL 3) the loss of consumer surplus that is a gain to the monopoly as producer surplus. Label it Monopoly's gain. Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. At the competitive equilibrium, marginal social benefit equals marginal social cost. At the competitive equilibrium, the sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus is maximized. At the long-run competitive equilibrium, firms produce at the lowest possible long-run average cost. 30- 25- 20 15- 10- 5- Price and cost (dollars per haircut) 0+ 0.0 MR 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 Quantity (thousands of haircuts) MSC 5.0

Assume that builder XYZ is a monopoly in Sydney’s Southwest, who specialises in apartment construction. (a) Draw a diagram to illustrate XYZ making economic profits before the implementation of the hard lockdown in Sydney’s Southwest. On your diagram clearly indicate the quantity XYZ is choosing to produce and the price XYZ is choosing to charge. (b) Assuming costs remain constant and that that the construction industry is still allowed to operate normally, explain the impact of Sydney’s lockdown on builder XYZ’s demand from Q2 part (a). With the aid of a new diagram, discuss XYZ’s static profit or loss situation after these changes. Clearly indicate the quantity XYZ is choosing to produce and the price XYZ is choosing to charge. (c) Assume that XYZ survives the lockdown and stays in business. If the NSW government decides to double the first home buyer’s grant, explain the impact on XYZ’s demand. With the aid of a new diagram, discuss XYZ’s static profit or loss situation after this…
