4. Third-Degree Price Discrimination. A monopolist has two sets of customers: low demand and high demand. Suppose that the demand functions for both types of consumers are given by the following equations: QL-1600-2PL and Qi-4800 - P.The monopolist faces constant marginal cost of $200. Suppose that the monopolist can separate the two groups and charge separate, profit maximizing prices to each. Suppose that cannot discriminate between the two groups (Hint: be careful in your analysis and think of reservation prices) 1. What price will the monopolist set? 2. What is consumer surplus in this case?

What is the monopolist’s profit maximizing price assuming that it has to charge a single price to each consumer? A. 5 B. 10 C. 35 D. 70

4. a. Suppose the marginal social cost of clothes dryers is given by MSC = 2Q. Further suppose that the monthly demand for clothes dryers is given by the equation Q = 40 - P. What is the efficient level of monthly output of clothes dryers? b. If clothes dryers are sold in a monopolistic market, graphically show that the monopolist's optimum output will be less than the efficient output. (Note: No calculations are required here). c. Given that the marginal revenue for our monopolist can be written as MR = 40 - 2Q, illustrate the loss in efficiency due to monopoly power in this market. What is the dollar value of the loss? (Remember the formula for the area of a triangle is (base)(height)).

Assume that a pure monopolist and a purely competitive firm have the same unit costs. Contrast the two with respect to (a) price, (b) output, (c) profits, (d) allocation of resources, and (e) impact on the distribution of income. Since both monopolists and competitive firms follow the MR = MC rule in maximizing profits, how do you account for the different results? Why might the costs of a purely competitive firm and those of a monopolist be different? What are the implications of such a cost difference?
