Suppose that the long-run price elasticity of demand for gasoline is - 0.40. Assume that the price of gasoline is currently $4.00 per gallon, the quantity of gasoline is 140 billion gallons per year, and the federal government decides to increase the excise tax on gasoline by $1.00 per gallon. Suppose that in the long run the price of gasoline increases by S0.70 per gallon after the $1.00 excise tax is imposed. a. Using the midpoint formula, after the tax is imposed, the new quantity of gasoline demanded is billion gallons per year. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
7. Comparing monopoly and perfect competition Consider the daily market for hot dogs in a small city. Suppose that this market is in long-run competitive equilibrium, with many hot dog stands in the city, each one selling the same kind of hot dogs. Therefore, each vendor is a price taker and possesses no market power. The following graph shows the demand (D) and supply curves (S= MC) in the market for hot dogs. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the market price and quantity that will result from perfect competition. PRICE AND COSTS (Dollars per hot dog) 0.5 བྷྲ ༷ ྴ་ཤཱ་བྷ་ཛྙྰ་བླླ་ཤཱ་བ། 5.0 4.5 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.0 0 0 30 60 90 Perfect Competition S=MC D 120 150 180 210 240 270 300 QUANTITY (Hot dogs) PC Outcome Assume that one of the hot dog vendors successfully lobbies the city council to obtain the exclusive right to sell hot dogs within the city limits. This firm buys up all the rest of the hot dog vendors in the city and operates as a monopoly. Assume…

Assume the following equations describe the conditions for a monopoly: Qd = 2,000 - 100P TC = 3,500 + 5q + .005q2 Where Qd is the quantity demanded, P is the commodity's price in dollars, TC is the firm's total cost in dollars and q is the quantity of output produced. Based upon these equations, answer the following questions: a. What is the firm's equation for total revenue expressed as a function of quantity? b. What is the firm's equation for marginal revenue expressed as a function of quantity? What is the firm's equation for marginal cost expressed as a function of quantity? c. What is the firm's profit maximizing quantity of output? d. What price will the firm charge for the commodity? e. What would be the socially optimal quantity of output? f. What price would regulators have to establish in order to have the firm produce the socially optimal quantity of output?
Conditions for price discrimination Price discrimination is the practice of selling the same good at more than one price when the price differences are not justified by cost differences. Evaluate the following statement: "Price discrimination is not possible when a good is sold in a perfectly competitive market." False, because perfectly competitive firms do not profit - maximize by setting marginal revenue equal to marginal cost True, because perfectly competitive firms have no market power False, because perfectly competitive firms have market power None of these choices Examples of price discrimination Cho and Ginny are debating the use of coupons by grocery stores. Cho says, "The use of coupons in grocery stores represents a means of price discrimination. It's pure and simple. Coupons do reduce the price of groceries, but mostly to people who are less likely to buy at the full price." By contrast, Ginny contends, "Coupons do not constitute price discrimination. They simply…
