What is the difference between a monopoly's marginal revenue curve and a perfect competitor's marginal revenue curve? Please explain the difference in these markets by drawing the graphs.
I'm having a hard time understanding if the monopoly outcome I have drawn on the graph (the dotted line) is correct. Is this how you would do it, and if you would do it differently, how would you do it? Additionally, I am having a hard time understanding which of the options below the chart is correct to select and why. I believe it is possible for there to be more than one correct option. Thank you!
How, if at all, will a monopolist respond to a rise in the price of an input? (provide explanation with graphs)
The graph below shows the Market conditions of Honey’s Laundry service, which is the only laundry in Arizon Residential Area. Considering the shop as a Monopoly market, answer the following questions: (a)In order to maximize profit, how many clothes does the shop clean?[Answer in numerical value only without any unit] (b)If the opening of five new laundries turns it into a perfectly competitive market, what should be the price Sunny’s laundry be charging now?[Answer in numerical value only without any unit] (c)Compute the change in total revenue between part a and part b.[Answer in numerical value only without any unit] Note: Bartleby does not accept more than 3 sub-parts, and here are no more than 3. Please solve all parts to get a 'like'. Thanks

Suppose a monopoly's price elasticity of demand equals-5 and the marginal cost of production equals $500.00. The profit-maximizing price is $ 625 (Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to two decimal places.) What will be the firm's markup? When maximizing profit, the monopoly's markup is______percent. (Round your response to the nearest percent.)
You are the manager of a monopoly. If the marginal cost of your product is $100 and the price elasticity of demand for your product is 3, then the markup of price over marginal cost you should set is equal to. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) (Round your answer to one decimal place.) If the price elasticity of demand is 6 rather than 3, the markup you should set is equal to Use your knowledge of the factors that affect the magnitude of the price elasticity of demand to explain the difference in the markups in your answers to the last two parts. O A. A smaller price elasticity of demand suggests that your good is a normal good, which allows you to set a higher markup. OB. A smaller price elasticity of demand suggests that there are many substitutes for your good, which allows you to set a higher markup. OC. A smaller price elasticity of demand suggests that there are few substitutes for a good, which allows you to set a higher markup. D. A smaller price elasticity of demand…
The following five individuals have different utility functions over food (good x) and clothing (good y): 1) u₁(x, y) = 3x²y 2) u₂(x, y) = 2√x + y 3) Uz(x, y) = x0.6y0.4 4) u₁(x, y) = x² + y² 1 5) us(x, y) = x + 3y For each of these people: a) Compute their marginal utilities of good x, MUx = Ju(x,y) MU, = ду du(x,y) ax b) Check whether the property of "more is better" is satisfied for both goods? Explain. [Hint: Check whether marginal utilities are positive assuming positive amounts of good x and good y] ƏMUX əx and marginal utility of good y, c) Does the marginal utility of good x diminish, remain constant, or increase as each of the individuals buys more x? Explain. [Hint: There are 2 ways to do it: 1) visually check what happens to the expression of MUx when x increases (does it decrease, keep constant or decrease?); or 2) take the partial derivative of this marginal utility with respect to x, that is ƏMUx .aMUX ƏMUX If 0, the marginal utility of x is increasing in x] d) Does the…
Monopoly firms are a lot more profitable than perfectly competitive firms. The primary reason is that the monopoly firm charges a price that is greater than marginal cost at the profit maximizing quantity. Explain this statement with a graph. Specifically, explain how the profit maximizing quantity and price are determined.
1750 1500 1250 1000 750 500 250 0 1200 3600 6000 8400 The figure above shows demand and marginal revenue for a single price monopoly. At any price above $ demand is elastic. 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.
Given the following demand schedule for a monopolist in the diamond industry, assume the marginal cost of producing diamonds is constant and equal to 200 and that there are no fixed costs. Quantity 1 2 3 4 5 Price $500 400 300 200 100 Suppose that rival producers enter the market and the market becomes perfectly competitive. How large is the deadweight loss associated with monopoly in this case? Explain the excess capacity problem. (Note: I am not asking for a definition. I want an explanation of the problem.) Explain what is meant when we say that monopolistic competition is a "second-best" outcome. (Note: I am not asking for a definition. I want an explanation of the problem.)
