- 7. Comparing monopoly and perfect competition Consider the daily market for hot dogs in a small city. Suppose that this market is in long-run competitive equilibrium, with many hot dog stands in the city, each one selling the same kind of hot dogs. Therefore, each vendor is a price taker and possesses no market power. The following graph shows the demand (D) and supply curves (S= MC) in the market for hot dogs. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the market price and quantity that will result from perfect competition. PRICE AND COSTS (Dollars per hot dog) 0.5 བྷྲ ༷ ྴ་ཤཱ་བྷ་ཛྙྰ་བླླ་ཤཱ་བ། 5.0 4.5 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.0 0 0 30 60 90 Perfect Competition S=MC D 120 150 180 210 240 270 300 QUANTITY (Hot dogs) PC Outcome Assume that one of the hot dog vendors successfully lobbies the city council to obtain the exclusive right to sell hot dogs within the city limits. This firm buys up all the rest of the hot dog vendors in the city and operates as a monopoly. Assume…Market Structure a. In the short run, if a perfectly competitive firm produced at the quantity of productive efficiency, would it generate the highest profit level possible? Why or why not? b. Draw a graph to represent a natural monopoly and describe the circumstances that would permit natural monopoly to exist. Would it be wise for government to break up natural monopolies? Give some examples of natural monopoliesPlease see the images of the article below and help answer questions. 1. Evaluate this statement: "Whereas a competitive firm must sell at the market price, a monopoly owns its market, so it can set its own prices. Since it has no competition, it produces at the quantity and price combination that maximizes its profits." Must a perfectly competitive firm sell at a market-clearing price? Alternatively, is the market-clearing price the profit-maximizing price that a competitive firm chooses to set? Can a monopolist set any (price, quantity) combination? 2. Evaluate this statement: "Monopolies drive progress because the promise of years or even decades of monopoly profits provides a powerful incentive to innovate. Then monopolies can keep innovating because profits enable them to make the long-term plans and finance the ambitious research projects that firms locked in competition can't dream of." Cite a counter-example to this claim in which deregulation of a monopolist led to lower…

It preserves competition by maintaining abundant government-owned firms to ensure consumer-friendly pricing. c.) It polices anticompetitive behavior and prohibits contracts that restrict competition.I am learning about pure competition in short and long run and pure monopoly in intro to microeconomics. How would a pizzeria in a densely populated area with 20 to 50 competitors thrive in a pure short competition market compared to a pure long competition market? As well as in a pure monopoly market.Suppose a monopoly faces the market demand in the nearby figure. It has constant marginal cost equal to $6. Find the perfectly competitive quantity and price assuming the market is made up of producers each with marginal cost $6. Give a numeric answer for each and show them on the graph. What is the efficient quantity? Give a numeric answer and show it on the graph. Which market structure, monopoly or perfect competition, comes closer to achieving the efficient quantity? Now suppose there is a negative externality associated with producing the good of $5 per unit. Now which market structure, monopoly or perfect competition, comes closer to achieving the efficient quantity? Explain briefly.
