Calculate the value of the profit at this point. Also label this on the graph (part b). e. The government’s antitrust division determines this monopoly has too much market power. It has two options: break the monopoly into two smaller companies, or regulate it using a price ceiling. Which should it do and why?. f. The government has decided to enact the price ceiling. On the graph, label the price ceiling that maximizes consumer surplus. Indicate this consumer surplus on the graph (
Suppose a monopolist faces demand D = 6 − Q and MR = 6 − 2Q, and has costs T C = 1 + 2Q, and MC = 2. The monopolist is unable to
