Assume production costs are constant and equal to $750.00 (i.e., AC = MC = $750). 1) Output is units per day at a price of $ per unit. 2) Profit is $ 3) Consumer surplus is $ 4) If this market was perfectly competitive, output would exceed the single-price monopoly output by Time units.

Answer the following 2 questions a) Can a firm have market power even if it is not the only firm in the market? Why? How do you measure market power? b) Is there a social cost associated with profit maximisation in monopoly? Why? Please illustrate your reply with a graph
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.
a) Suppose demand for a good was given as: P = 220 - 0.25Q and the marginal cost of producing the good was MC = 20. What price and output would result under pure monopoly?
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 that this change doesn't affect demand and that the new monopoly's marginal cost curve corresponds exactly to the supply curve on the previous graph. Under this assumption, the following graph shows the demand (D), marginal revenue (MR), and marginal cost (MC) curves for the monopoly firm. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the following graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity of a monopolist. PRICE (Dollars per hot dog) 5.0 4.5 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0 0 45 Monopoly MC MR 90 135 180 225 270 315 QUANTITY (Hot dogs) D 360 405 450 Monopoly Outcome Deadweight Loss ?
Dear tutor, please solve these True/False Questions. Thank You! A monopoly always operates in the inelastic portion of its demand curve. The less elastic is the demand for a firm's product, the greater is that firm's market power.
