Question 4.3 (a) A monopolist faces the demand curve: Q = 1000 – 20P. What is the exact value of the price elasticity of demand when the price $20 and $30 respectively (hint: refer to each of the stated price level only)? At the two stated price level, how should the monopolists change the output level to maximize profit?

A country that ends a 22-year old state monopoly in telecoms. The phone services market in this country is illustrated by the following equations: Demand: p = 80−q MC: p=−40+2q 1.Draw the the demand, the MR and the MC of the monopolist in the following graph. 2.Suppose a state monopoly on the phone services market. In this case, indicate the price paid by consumers and the quantity exchanged, and calculate the welfare loss compared to the optimal situation. 3.Now consider the situation after the abolition of the state monopoly. With the phone services market now competitive, the state is losing customers, and therefore also losing revenue as a result of new companies entering the market. To compensate for the drop in revenue, the government decides to impose an excise tax of $30 on the phone services market. In this case, indicate the price paid by consumers and the quantity exchanged, and calculate the welfare loss compared to the optimal situation. 4.Give an economic…
8. Can a monopolist that is not subject to any regulation lead the market to Pareto efficiency by his own initiative? Pareto efficiency is a situation that cannot be modified so as to make any one individual better off without making at least one individual worse off. In the model of monopoly, we assume that the ultimate goal of a monopolist is to maximize his profit, which means MC-MR. We have seen (for example, in the lecture or earlier problems, e.g., problem 5) that this equality leads the monopolist to produce less and charge a higher price than in perfect competition. This makes the monopolist better off but at the same time makes consumers worse off, as compared to perfect competition. This also leads to a deadweight loss. As we have the deadweight loss, the monopoly is definitely not Pareto efficient. See the lecture slide # 37. The transactions between Qm and Qk (quantities supplied in the monopoly and perfect competition, respectively) could take place to everyone's benefit,…
Hello, I need help with this Econ question. I saw that these questions are already answered in bartleby
**You only need to answer Question C*
DeBeers has a monopoly on the production of diamonds. Use the following graph showing the demand, MR and cost curves of DeBeers to answer the questions below. How many carats of diamonds does DeBeers produce to maximize its annual profit? What price does it charge? How much annual profit does it make? If DeBeers was producing at the allocatively efficient level of output, how many carats of diamonds would it produce? What price would it charge? Suppose that the government decided to regulate DeBeers monopoly and imposes a price ceiling of $50 per carat of diamonds. How many carats of diamonds would DeBeers produce? What price would it charge? What profit would it make?
