The following figure shows the demand curve for Good X in a perfectly competitive market. Later, the government grants one of the firms the exclusive right to manufacture and sell Good X. MR represents the marginal revenue curve of the firm when it operates as a monopoly. The marginal cost of producing Good X is constant at $5. Price/Cost (S) 4 Demand 3 MR 2 1 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Quantity (1,000 units) a) What is the quantity supplied when the market is perfectly competitive? What happens to the quantity supplied once the market changes to a monopoly? b) What is the market price when the market is perfectly competitive? What is the market price when the market changes to a monopoly? c) Compare the consumer surplus when the market is perfectly competitive and when the market is a monopoly. Is there any producer surplus or deadweight loss in either case? If yes, then how much?
Tad's bait shop has a monopoly on the bait market at Sanderson's Lake. The demand curvefor bait is QD = 36 - 6P. Tad has two employees he can use to search for bait. The marginalcost of using Amanda to search for bait is: MCM (QM) = 0.5??. The marginal cost of usingAndrew to search for bait is: MCN(QN) =QNa. Determine how many units of bait each employee should gather.b. Which employee gathers more and why?c. What is the price Tad receives for selling the bait?

A drug company introduces a drug which is protected by a patent. Therefore,it is a monopoly in that specific market. Suppose that inverse demand for the drug isgiven by P(y) = 100 − y/2. And cost function is C(y) = y2 + 10y + 100.a. What is the profit maximizing output and price?b. Calculate the profit, consumer’s surplus, producer’s surplus and thedeadweight loss.Suppose that the patent expires and the market becomes perfectly competitive.c. Find the profit maximizing output and price. And compare your answer with(a).d. Calculate the profit, consumer’s surplus, producer’s surplus and thedeadweight loss. And compare your answer with (b).

A large share of the world supply of cocoa beans comes from Ghana and Ivory Coast. Suppose that the marginal cost of producing cocoa beans is constant at GHC1000 per bag and the demand for cocoa beans is described by the following schedule. Price (GHC) Quantity (bags) 5000 6000 7000 8000 9000 10000 11000 12000 8000 7000 6000 5000 4000 3000 2000 1000 a) If there were many suppliers of cocoa beans, what would be the price and quantity? b) If there were only one supplier of cocoa, what would be the price and quantity? c) At a meeting in October 2017 in Accra, the leaders of the two leading producers of cocoa beans discussed the possibility of cooperating to boost the price of cocoa. If Ghana and Ivory Coast formed a cartel, what would be the price and quantity? If the countries split the market evenly, what would be Ghana's production and profit? f) What would happen to Ghana's profit if it increased its production by 1000 cocoa while Ivory Coast stuck to the cartel agreement? g) Use your…
