1 . Profit maximization and loss minimization BYOB is a monopolist in beer production and distribution in the imaginary economy of Hopsville. Suppose that BYOB cannot price discriminate; that is, it sells its beer at the same price per can to all customers. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and demand (D) for beer in this market. PLEASE HELP ME

3. Natural monopoly analysis The following graph gives the demand (D) curve for water services in the fictional town of Streamship Springs. The graph also shows the marginal revenue (MR) curve, the marginal cost (MC) curve, and the average total cost (ATC) curve for the local water company, a natural monopolist. On the following graph, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for this natural monopolist. PRICE (Dals per hundred cubicfe RREZRE MR 4 7 OP . QUANTITY Oundreds of cubic feet Monopoly Outcome
3. A monopolist can produce at constant average and marginal costs of AC = MC = 5. The firm faces a market demand curve given by Q = 55-P. (a) Calculate the profit-maximizing price-quantity combination for the monopolist. Also, calculate the monopolist's profits. Graph the relevant functions to illustrate these. (b) What output level would be produced by this industry under perfect competition (where price = marginal cost)? Indicate this on the graph. (c) Calculate the consumer surplus obtained by consumers in case (b). Show that this exceeds the sum of the monopolist's profits and the consumer surplus received in case (a). What is the value of the deadweight loss from monopolization? Indicate these on the graph.
