2. Suppose a monopoly produces film and cameras. Consumers demand pictures, which require film and one camera. Two different types of consumers have the following demand for film, q= 100 - 10p and q = 80-10p. The monopoly cannot price discriminate in the market for film or the market for cameras, but it can bundle the products. The monopoly produces film at a constant marginal cost of $1 per roll. What price will the monopoly set for film and for cameras?

Imagine a monopolist could charge a different price to every customer based on how much he or she were willing to pay. How would this affect monopoly profits?
Suppose demand for a monopolys product falls 50 that its profit-maximizing price is below average variable cost. How much output should the film supply? Hint: Draw the graph.
Draw a monopolists demand curve, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves. Identify the monopolists profit-maximizing output level. Now, think about a slightly higher level of output (sayQ0+1). According to the graph, is there any consumer willing to pay more than the marginal cost of that new level of output? If so, what does this mean?
From the graph you drew to answer Exercise 11.6, would you say this transit system is a natural monopoly? Justify. Use the following information to answer the next three questions. In the years before wireless phones, when telephone technology requited having a wile matting to every home, it seemed plausible that telephone service had diminishing average costs and might require regulation like a natural monopoly. For most of the twentieth century, the national U.S. phone company was AT&T, and the company functioned as a regulated monopoly. Think about the deregulation of the U.S. telecommunications industry that has occurred over the last few decades. (This is not a research assignment, but a thought assignment based on what you have learned in this chapter.)
Draw the demand curve, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves from Figure 9.6, and identify the quantity of output the monopoly wishes to supply and the price it will charge. Suppose demand for the monopolys product increases dramatically. Draw the new demand me. What happens to the marginal revenue as a result of the increase in demand? What happens to the marginal cost curve? Identify the new profit-maximizing quantity and price. Does the answer make sense to you? Figure 9.6 Illustrating Profits at the HealthPill Monolpoly
Imagine that you ale managing a small firm and thinking about entering the market of a monopolist. The monopolist is currently charging a high price, and you have calculated that you can make a nice profit charging 10 less than the monopolist. Before you go ahead and challenge the monopolist, what possibility should you consider for how the monopolist might react?

K The following figure shows the revenue curves of a monopolist: Figure 11.6 5000 Price ($) 4000- 2500- 0 D. Average revenue MR: Marginal revenue O $500,000 200 O $300,000 O $350,000 O $250,000 In Figure 11.6, assume that marginal costs are constant at $2,500 and fixed costs are 0. What would be the amount of consumer surplus if the market was perfectly competitive? 400 O $1,000,000 MR Quantity 102°F Sunny
