1). The DeBeers company is a profit-maximizing monopolist that exercises monopoly power in the distribution of diamonds. If the company earns positive economic profits this year, the price of diamonds will: Exceed the marginal cost of diamonds but equal to the average total cost of diamonds. Exceed both the marginal cost and the average total cost of diamonds. Be equal to the marginal cost of diamonds. Be equal to the average total cost of diamonds. 2). Using 100 workers and 10 machines, a firm can produce 10,000 units of output; using 250 workers and 25 machines, the firm produces 21,000 units of output.

3. The inverse market demand is P=100 – 2/3Q. The firms have cost functions TC1 = 15 + 3q1+ q1² TC2 = 20 + q2 + 2q2² Q = q1 +q2 a. Assume there is a multiplant monopoly and TC1 and TC2 represents the cost of production in each plant. How much quantity should each plant produce? b. Find the market price. c. Assume there is a multiplant monopoly. Would it make sense for the firm to close one of the plants? d. Does your answer change if TC2 = 20 + q2 + 2q2² changes to TC2 = 1000 + q2 + 2q² ? e. Explain your answer from the prior question- did your production change or remain the same?

1 The inverse demand to cross a river is given by P = 8 − Q, where P is the asking price for a passage. Standing Bridge monopoly connects the two shores. The monopoly cost is fixed: C(Q)= 4. - the Government wants to regulate the bridge to maximize the surplus of the consumer while ensuring that Pont Debout does not lose. Suggest an optimal policy for the government.

Show that a monopoly will not necessarily lower its price by the same percentage as its constant marginal cost drops: 1.) Use the point drawing tool to indicate the initial equilibrium price and quantity. Label this point 'E'. 2.) Use the line drawing tool to show a 50 percent decrease in marginal cost. Label this line 'MC₁'. 3.) Use the point drawing tool to indicate the new equilibrium price and quantity. Label this point 'E,'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. What is the percentage change in the price given a 50 percent decrease in marginal cost? The price decreased by percent.
