### Monopoly Pricing and Consumer Surplus**Graph Explanation:**The graph illustrates the demand, marginal revenue, and marginal cost functions for a monopoly. It includes:- **Demand Curve (P):** Represented by the blue line, sloping downward from left to right. It reflects the price consumers are willing to pay for varying quantities.- **Marginal Revenue (MR):** Shown as the red line, also sloping downward but at a steeper gradient than the demand curve. The points on this curve indicate the additional revenue generated from selling one more unit.- **Marginal Cost and Average Cost (MC = AC):** Represented by a green dashed horizontal line. This line is constant, indicating that the marginal cost and average cost are equal across all quantities.**Analytical Notes:**1. **Equilibrium Point:** The intersection of the red MR curve and the green MC=AC line represents the profit-maximizing quantity for the monopoly. 2. **Price Determination:** From this equilibrium quantity, move upward to the blue demand curve to find the monopoly's profit-maximizing price.3. **Consumer Surplus Calculation:** - Consumer surplus can be found by calculating the area between the demand curve and the price level up to the equilibrium quantity. **Task:**Calculate consumer surplus if the monopoly charges the (single) profit-maximizing price.Given that $ MC(Q) = AC(Q) $ for all $ Q $.

The monopolist’s demand refers to the market demand. When The monopolist is a price maker. Pure…

A monopolist faces two demand curves in two separate markets. The Market Demand in the first market is P1=100-Q1 and in the second market it is P2=50-0.5Q2. The marginal & average costs are constant at 10 (MC=AC=10). Find the Monopoly Price and Quantity in each market. Find the Perfect Competition Price and Quantity in each market. Calculate Profit, Social Welfare (Consumer and Producer Surpluses), and Dead Weight Loss in both situations and in both markets.
Consider a market with a common demand function given by Q = 100 - 2P, where Q represents quantity and P represents price. The total cost function for firms in this market is TC=1000+ 50². a) For a monopoly, calculate the profit-maximizing price, quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss. b) Compare the monopoly equilibrium to the equilibrium in perfect competition. Calculate the price, quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss under perfect competition. c) Use a single graph to illustrate both the monopoly and perfect competition equilibriums. 4
A single-price monopoly A) must lower the price for all customers if it wants to increase its sales. B) must practice price discrimination. C) can lower its price for only a few select consumers if it wants to increase its sales. D) will set its price equal to a consumer's willingness to pay. E) is able to raise its price as high as it wants and consumers must still buy from it because it is a monopoly.
