Assume that Lagatt Green is not able price discriminate, and so it sells its beer to all customers at the same price per bottle. The following graph gives the marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and demand (D) curves that Lagatt Green faces for beer in Lightington. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for Lagatt Green. If Lagatt Green is making a profit, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit.

- Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 10 firms in the market. (Hint: You can disregard the portion of the supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is no output since this is the industry supply curve.) Next, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 15 firms. Finally, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms.

If the theater is open, the owners have to pay a fixed amount of $6,000 for the films, ushers, etc., regardless of how many people come to the movie. For simplicity, assume that if the theater is closed, its costs are zero. The demand function for movies in the town is characterized by A = 45-T 60 a. Graph the market demand curve, the marginal revenue curve, and the marginal cost curve. Label the axes, curves, and intercepts. b. Find the profit-maximizing price and quantity of movie tickets, and indicate them on the graph. How much would the theater make in profits? c. Calculate deadweight loss caused by the monopoly and indicate the area on the graph. |Refer to Figure 13.1. Suppose demand is Q = 10000 - 1000P and marginal cost is constant at MC=6.
