Do this problem using excel solver. Africa controls 80% of the world's lithium refining, a material needed for the production of lithium batteries in electric vehicles. The demand for lithium batteries is P = $20,000 - 2.5 Q, where Q is in tons and P is in $/ton. The long run marginal and average cost of production is constant at $2,000/ton. a) Assuming the monopoly model applies, determine price, quantity, and profit for Africa using excel solver b) Now assume new firms enter the lithium market, resulting in (perfect) competition. Determine the price, quantity, and profits, when the industry is in (long run) equilibrium using excel solver c) Finally, compare social welfare for the two cases, and determine deadweight loss using excel solver.

A company operates two plants which manufacture the same item and whose total cost functions are C₁ = 5.5 +0.01(9₁)² and C₂ M 8.2 +0.08(92)². where q, and q2 are the quantities produced by each plant. The company is a monopoly. The total quantity demanded, q = 91 +92. is related to the price, p, by p= 40 -0.08q. How much should each plant produce in order to maximize the company's profit?¹ 91 = 92 = i MA

Gas Light, Inc. is currently the only natural gas supplier in a region. The company maximizes its profit when it sells 10 billion m³ of gas at $0.60 per m³. Gas Light's marginal cost is constant at $0.30 per m³. If the market was perfectly competitive, it would supply 20 billion m³ of gas at $0.30 per m³. What is the deadweight loss resulting from the monopoly? $ A billion.
35. Consider a publicly owned nondiscriminating monopoly whose marginal cost is 10, whose average cost is 10 +90/Q, and whose demand curve is P = 100 –-Q, where P is price and Q is quantity. The government instructs the firm to produce a quantity such that MC = P. Which of the following statements is true? %3D (a) The firm makes a profit of 90 (b) The firm breaks even (c) The firm requires a subsidy of 90 (d) The firm makes a profit of 100 (e) The firm requires a subsidy of 100
Consider the weekly market for gyros in a popular neighborhood close to campus. Suppose this market is operating in long-run competitive equilibrium with many gyro vendors in the neighborhood, each offering basically the same gyros. Due to the structure of the market, the vendors act as price takers and each individual vendor has no market power. The following graph displays the supply (S = MC) and demand (D) curves in the weekly market for gyros. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the market price and quantity that will result from competition. PRICE (Dollars per gyro) 5.0 4.5 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0 0 10 20 30 Competitive Market 40 60 QUANTITY (Gyros) 50 70 80 S=MC D 90 100 PC Outcome (?) Now assume that one of the gyro vendors successfully petitions the neighborhood development board to obtain exclusive rights to sell gyros in the neighborhood. This firm buys up all the rest of the gyro food trucks in the area and begins to operate as a monopoly.…
