9. Regulating a natural monopoly Consider the only electric company in a small town, which you can assume operates as a natural monopoly. The following graph shows the demand curve for electricity services per month, as well as the provider's marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve.

Please refer to th graph attached. The graph shows the Demand, Marginal Revenue, Average Total Cost, Average variable Costs and Marginal Cost curves for a monopolist. (a) What is the profit maximizing/ loss minimizing quantity of output and what is the maximum price the monopolist can charge? (b) Is this monopolist making economic profit or economic loss? How do you know? Explain please. (c) Calculate the firms profit or loss and show the economic profit/loss on the graph.

19 Which of the following describes how a natural monopoly is graphically illustrated? A When producing small quantities, the demand is higher than long-run average cost. BO The long-run average cost curve is U-shaped. CO When producing large quantities, the long-run average cost is greater than demand. The demand curve intersects the long-run average cost curve at a point where the long-run average cost curve is downward sloping. D
