. Profit maximization and loss minimization BYOB is a monopolist in beer production and distribution in the imaginary economy of Hopsville. Suppose that BYOB cannot price discriminate; that is, it sells its beer at the same price per can to all customers. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and demand (D) for beer in this market. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for BYOB. If BYOB is making a profit, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. On the other hand, if BYOB is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing its loss. Suppose that BYOB charges $2.50 per can. Your friend Clancy says that since BYOB is a monopoly with market power, it should charge a higher price of $3.00 per can because this will increase BYOB’s profit. Complete the…

Pleasant Island has two natural gas wells, one owned by Mack and the other owned by Tom. Each well has a valve that controls the rate of flow of gas, and the marginal cost of producing gas is zero. The table below gives the demand schedule for gas on this island. Price (dollars per unit) $100 88888; 70 50 30 20 10 0 Quantity Demanded (units per day) If Mack and Tom form a cartel and maximize their joint profits, the price of gas on Pleasant Island will be $ If Mack and Tom are forced to sell at the perfectly competitive price, the price of gas on Pleasant Island will be $ 5 15 25 35 45 55 65 per unit.

Which of the following is NOT an advantage that could allow monopolies to enhance consumer welfare? Monopolies have larger R&D budgets, and can develop ambitious products more quickly. Monopolies have more bargaining power and can negotiate for lower input prices, allowing them to cut costs. Monopolies earn more profit and provide more benefit to shareholders. Monopolies can waste less money duplicating the efforts of their competitors. O Monopolies granted under patent and copyright law provide larger monetary incentives for innovation.
Economics: Industrial Economics Question: A duopoly exists in the market for lumber in a town. It costs the first company, Big Cutters, $16 per cord of wood while it costs the second company, Pine Stackers, $10 per cord of wood. The local market demand curve for wood is Q-31,000-100P. Assume each has the capacity to serve the entire market and that they can only price in whole dollar amounts (i.e.$30, not $29.99). Assume initially that Cutters and Stackers decide to collude and split the market. How many cords of wood will they sell? Choices: A. 12,000 B. 9,000 C. 15,000 D. 20,000 2. What will be the price they charge? Choices: A. 190 B. 210 C. 110 D. 160 3. How much will Big Cutters produce? Choices: A. 9,000 B. 4,500 C. 0 D. 15,000 Now assume that collusion is not possible. 4. What is the Nash Equilibrium quantity that Pine Stackers Choices: A. 0 B. 15,300 C. 14,700 D. 29,500 5. What is the Nash Equilibrium price? Choices: A. 15 B. 112 C. 11 D. 157 Thank you for your…
For many years, the Justice Department has tried to break up large firms like IBM,Microsoft, and most recently Google, on the grounds that their large market share madethem essentially monopolies. In a global market, where U.S. firms compete with firms fromother countries, would this policy make the same sense as it might in a purely domesticcontext?

Assume an oligopolist confronts two possible demand curves for its own output, as illustrated below. The first (A) prevails if other oligopolists don't match price changes. The second (B) prevails if rivals do match price changes. Price (dollars per unit) 19- 17 Demand B 15- Demand A 13- 11. 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 Quantity (units per period) (a) By how much does quantity demanded increase if price is reduced from $11 to $9 and Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to the nearest whole number. (i) Rivals match the price cut? (ii) Rivals don't match the price cut? (b) By how much does quantity demanded decrease when price is raised from $11 to $15 and Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to the nearest whole number (do not include negative signs). (i) Rivals match the price hike? (ii) Rivals don't match the price hike?
