Assume that perfectly competitive industry can produce milk at a constant marginal cost of $2.00 per unit. When the industry is monopolized, the marginal cost of producing milk increase to $4.00 per unit . The market demand for Milk is given by: QD = 100 − 10P,1. Graph and explain the results. Make sure to include the consumer surplus, producersurplus, DWL, and profit maximizing quantity and price under monopoly
hey how are you a)Draw the cost curves for a typical firm. Explain how a competitive firm chooses the level of output that maximizes profit. At that level of output, show on your graph the firm’s total revenue and total cost. b)Draw the demand curve, marginal revenue curve, average total cost curve, and marginal-cost curve for a monopolist. Show the profit-maximizing level of output, the profit-maximizing price, and the amount of profit. c)Why the demand curve for a firm operating in monopolistic competition is more elastic compared to the firm operating as a monopoly.

True or false. Justify and graph"A natural monopoly is one that exhibits increasing marginal productivity at an increasing rate."
The graph illustrates an industry in which many firms operating in perfect competition are taken over by one firm that operates as a single-price monopoly. Draw the following shapes: 1) the consumer surplus arising from monopoly. Label it CS. 2) the deadweight loss arising from monopoly. Label it DWL 3) the loss of consumer surplus that is a gain to the monopoly as producer surplus. Label it Monopoly's gain. Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. At the competitive equilibrium, marginal social benefit equals marginal social cost. At the competitive equilibrium, the sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus is maximized. At the long-run competitive equilibrium, firms produce at the lowest possible long-run average cost. 30- 25- 20 15- 10- 5- Price and cost (dollars per haircut) 0+ 0.0 MR 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 Quantity (thousands of haircuts) MSC 5.0

For the following Demand calculate Total Revenue and Marginal Revenue as price falls and quantity increases for a monopolist that charges the same price to all customers. State and explain your results for each price and quantity combination in the table. When and why does Marginal Revenue become less than zero? Do you think a rational Business would select a price where Marginal Revenue is less than zero?
