consider a market with a large number of firms, an upward sloping supply curve S0, and a downward sloping demand curve D0. Assume that the market is perfectly competitive; hence, the supply curve S0 is the sum of the marginal cost curves of all the firms. Indicate the original competitive equilibrium price P0, equilibrium quantity Q0, the resulting Consumer Surplus CS0, the resulting Producer Surplus PS0, and the “socially optimal” output (the output the Benevolent Dictator would choose) QSO on your graph. Graphically indicate the size of Dead-Weight Loss DWL0 if there is such a loss. In the narrative, please explain how you determined the socially optimal output level and the presence (or absence) of dead-weight loss in this situation.
