8. Suppose there are two firms in the market. The market demand is Q=100-p and the marginal cost of production is constant at 40. What is the outcome of price and quantity and the total welfare if those two firms compete like perfect competition? What is the outcome of price and quantity and the total welfare when those two firms merge into a monopoly? What are the pre-merger HHI, post-merger HHI and change in HHI? How does the Horizontal Merger Guideline 2010 classify this proposed merger?

PLEASE ANSWER QUESTION C) ONLY The SolarFarm powerplant has both fixed and variable costs. As the plant expands production, it first has constant returns to scale, and then diminishing returns to scale. (a) Draw a large graph showing (only) the firm’s marginal costs and average total costs in a suitably labelled graph. Show on the graph where the firm’s technology changes from constant-returns to diminishing-returns.SolarFarm is a monopolist with a downward sloping demand curve. Add to your graph a demand and marginal revenue curve. Assume that the demand curve intercepts the average cost curve at its minimum point. Show the quantity and price of electricity in this market.(b) The government connects SolarFarm to a nearby town that is currently without electricity. Show in a new, large, graph how the market price and quantity of electricity sold change as a result.(c) Return to the situation in part (a) of this question. The government discovers a new technology that would allow…

What price should these firms charge to maximize total industry profit? ..............(Note: the marginal condition we learned will work here but you need to be careful because the changes in quantity on the schedule are not 1. Because of this, you might want to use a brute force approach here. It's worth thinking about how you would reconcile it with the marginal condition though. Also, the marginal condition doesn't match exactly so take the best number from the schedule.) 2.

3. An industry is subject to agglomeration economies (and diseconomies). The profit per firm is £100 for an isolated firm, and increases to a maximum of £160 per firm in a cluster with 6 firms. The profit curve is linear, with a slope of +£12 in the positively-sloped part and -£10 in the negatively-sloped part. Illustrate this profit curve. What will be the equilibrium number of firms in the cluster and how much profit will each firm make? Will this be greater than the efficient number of firms? Explain why. How will an increase in transport costs affect the profit curve and the optimal cluster size? Briefly explain your answer.
