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.)
USUALLY THERE IS MORE THAN ONE !! ANSWER!!! Select the statements below that are consistent with the input choice decisions of profit-maximizing competitive firms and monopolies. Choose one or more: A. Monopolistic firms choose inputs of production at the point where the marginal revenue from each input equals the marginal cost. Competitive firms do not. B. Competitive firms choose inputs of production at the point where the marginal revenue from each input equals the marginal cost. Monopolies do not. C. For competitive firms, the marginal revenue product of an input equals the value of the marginal product. D. If the demand for a product is perfectly elastic, all else being equal, the optimal amount of an input of production is the same for a monopolist as it is for the competitive market as a whole. E. For a monopoly facing a downward-sloping demand curve, the marginal revenue product of an input equals the value of the marginal product. F. Competitive firms and monopolies choose…
1. Using a graph, show a situation in which a monopolist is incurring short-run losses. Explain how this is possible. 2. Julee has estimated the demand and marginal revenue for her product. They are P = 100 - 2Q (quantity) and MR = 100 - 4Q, respectively. She also experiences constant marginal cost of $16. a. Does Julee have any market power? How can you tell? b. What is Julee’s profit-maximizing quantity? c. What price should Julee charge at that profit-maximizing quantity? 3. Explain a situation in which, when holding costs constant, a monopolist that was earning economic profits in the past can later incur an economic loss.

Quick Buck and Pushy Sales produce and sell identical products and face zero marginal and average cost. The accompanying graph shows the market demand curve for their product. Price ($/unit) 1000 2000 3000 4,000 Quantity (units/month) If Quick Buck and Pushy Sales decide to collude and work together as a monopolist, then together they should produce Multiple Choice 3,000; $1 4,000; $2 D 2,000; $2 1,000; $3 units per month and charge per unit.
2) The Epson Company is a monopolist in the market and faces the demand curve shown in the figure below. The firm's marginal cost curve is MC= 100 +2Q. a. What is the firm's profit-maximizing output and price? Price ($/unit) 400 0 D 200 Quantity of printers (thousand) b. If the firm's demand changes to P = 300 - Q while its marginal cost curve remains the same, what is the firm's profit-maximizing level of output and price? How does this compare to your answer for (a)? c. Draw a diagram showing these two outcomes. Holding marginal cost equal, how does the shape of the demand curve affect the firm's ability to charge a high price? (bonus question 5 points)
Suppose you are a monopolist and you have two customers, A and B. Each will buy either zero or one unit of the good you produce. A is willing to pay up to $35 for your product; B is willing to pay up to $10. You produce this good at a constant average and marginal cost of $8. If you could not engage in third-degree price discrimination, what price would you charge? OA $10. OB. $15. OC. $35. OD. $45. If you could practice third-degree price discrimination, you will earn a profit of $ (For simplicity, assume that if a consumer is indifferent between buying and not buying, he will buy.)

The diagram at right shows the demand curve, marginal revenue curve, and cost curves for a single-price monopolist that owns the only golf courses on Eagle Island. The monopolist's product is 18-hole golf games. a. Now suppose the monopolist is able to charge a different price on each different unit sold. What would be the total number of rounds of golf sold per week? rounds. (Round your response to the The total number of rounds sold per week is 600 nearest whole number) What would be the price on the last round sold? The price on the last round sold is $200 (Round your response to the nearest dollar) b. What is the value of the consumer surplus if the monopolist cannot price discriminate at all? The value of the consumer surplus is $ 40000 (Round your response to the nearest dollar) c.
