Deadweight Loss and Demand Elasticity. Using the linked figure as a starting point, consider a similar product that has the same monopoly price and quantity ($18 and 200 doses), but a more elastic demand. The long-run marginal cost is the same ($8). a. A more elastic demand generates a market demand curve. C Price ($) $18 b C $8 Long-run marginal cost and market supply Market Demand :200 400 Doses of drug per hour
8. Natural monopoly analysis The following graph gives the demand (D) curve for 5G LTE 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 5G LTE 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.

Check all that apply.
Monopoly. A monopolist sells to a population of consumers with willingness to pay that is uniform between 5 and 10. That is: f1/5 if 5 <2< 10 S(w) = O else You can assume the amount of consumers is normalized to 1 like in class. The monopolist has constant marginal cost c.
4. A monopolist is faced with the following cost and revenue curves: $ 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 -10 0 -20 100 200 300 400 FMC 500 AC AR 600 MR Quantity (a) What is the maximum-profit output?. (b) What is the maximum-profit price? (c) What is the total revenue at this price and output? (d) What is the total cost at this price and output? (e) What is the level of profit at this price and output? (f) If the monopolist were ordered to produce 300 units, what would be the market price? (g) How much profit would now be made? (h) If the monopolist were faced with the same demand, but average costs were constant $60 per unit, what output would maximise profit? (i) What would be the price now? (j) How much profit would now be made? (k) Assume now that the monopolist decides not to maximise profits, but instead sets a price of $40. How much will now be sold?.
(True/False. Explain) A monopolist can convert the entire customer surplus into profit. Provide examples of monopoly in the US market. How do they keep the deadweight loss low?
2. A monopoly sells its good in Country A, where the elasticity of demand (in absolute value) is 2, and in Country B, where the elasticity of demand (in absolute value) is 3. Its marginal cost is $20. Determine what price does the monopoly sells its good in each country if the monopolist is able to price discriminate. How and why does the price depend on the elasticity of demand?
1. Refer to the figure below when the firm is a monopolist. Price P MC L K J ATC D T W Quaxtity \MR a) If the monopolist maximizes profit, how many units will it produce? b) What price will the monopolist charge? c) What area measure the monopolist's profit? d) What level of output would be socially efficient? 2. A Monopolist is facing a demand schedule that is shown in the following table. Quantity Total Revenue Average Revenue Marginal Revenue Price $35 $32 1 2 3 $29 14 $26 15 $23 $20 $17 $14 6 7 18 19 $11 10 $8 a) Fill out the rest of the table. b) Assume this monopolist's marginal cost is constant at $11. What quantity of output (Q) will it produce and what price (P) will it charge? ------
2. A monopolist produces its output in two factories, whose cost curves are given by C1 (q1) = 10q and C2 (q2) demand for the firm's product is given by P = 700 – 5Q where Q is the total quantity sold by the monopolist. (a) On a diagram, illustrate the monopolist's decision about how much to produce at each factory and overall and the price to charge. Briefly explain your diagram. (b) Numerically calculate the monopolist's optimal choices for qı, q2, Q, and P. (c) Suppose that labor costs increase in Factory 1 but not in Factory 2. How should the firm change (i.e. raise, lower, or leave unchanged) each of the values you found in (b)? Your answer should be qualitative, not quantitative. 10q3 where q1 and q2 are the amounts produced at each factory. The diagram might be useful but is not necessary.
