8. Natural monopoly analysis The following graph gives the demand (D) curve for water services in the fictional town of Streamship Springs. The graph also shows the marginal revenue (MR) curve, the marginal cost (MC) curve, and the average total cost (ATC) curve for the local water company, a natural monopolist. On the following graph, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for this natural monopolist. PRICE (Dollars per hundred cubic feet) 40 36 32 24 20 0 0 1 True 2 3 5 6 8 7 QUANTITY (Hundreds of cubic feet) MR 4 False ATC MC 9 10 D + Which of the following statements are true about this natural monopoly? Check all that apply. Monopoly Outcome In order for a monopoly to exist in this case, the government must have intervened and created it. It is more efficient on the cost side for one producer to exist in this market rather than a large number of producers. The water company is experiencing economies of scale. The water company must own a scarce resource. True or False: Without government regulation, natural monopolies can earn positive profit in the short run.

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. PRICE (Dollars per can) 4.00 3.50 3.00 2.50 2.00 1.50 1.00 0.50 0 MC 0 0.5 1.5 ATC MR D 1.0 2.0 2.5 3.0 QUANTITY (Thousands of cans of beer) 3.5 4.0 Monopoly Outcome Profit Loss

Given the following demand schedule for a monopolist in the diamond industry, assume the marginal cost of producing diamonds is constant and equal to 200 and that there are no fixed costs. Quantity 1 2 3 4 5 Price $500 400 300 200 100 Suppose that rival producers enter the market and the market becomes perfectly competitive. How large is the deadweight loss associated with monopoly in this case? Explain the excess capacity problem. (Note: I am not asking for a definition. I want an explanation of the problem.) Explain what is meant when we say that monopolistic competition is a "second-best" outcome. (Note: I am not asking for a definition. I want an explanation of the problem.)
Question 4 Think a price making firm (monopolist) with a downward-sloping demand curve is one with a price elasticity of demand equal to-1. This is illustrated in the following diagram. P=AR 20 Expenditure stays the same as price changes TR AR = = Q d (TR) dQ Slope = b/Q 40 100 Diagram 5 Unit elastic demand (Pe=-1) MR = As price and quantity change by the same proportion, total revenue is the same at each price (the TR curve is horizontal). This gives the following TR, AR and MR equations: TR=b b -D (AR) Q = 0 Q As TR is constant at all outputs, so MR must equal zero. In diagram 5, what is the value of b in equation TR=b?
