- Suppose that market demand is Q = 660 – 12P and marginal cost is MC = 5. The producer surplus in a perfectly competitive market is $ while the producer surplus in a monopoly market is $ 0; 7,500 0; 3,750 0; 15,000 5,000; 3,750Assume 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 that this change doesn't affect demand and that the new monopoly's marginal cost curve corresponds exactly to the supply curve on the previous graph. Under this assumption, the following graph shows the demand (D), marginal revenue (MR), and marginal cost (MC) curves for the monopoly firm. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the following graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity of a monopolist. PRICE (Dollars per hot dog) 5.0 4.5 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0 0 45 Monopoly MC MR 90 135 180 225 270 315 QUANTITY (Hot dogs) D 360 405 450 Monopoly Outcome Deadweight Loss ?I need help with these homework t questions What price will the firm charge if it maximizes profit? How much Labor and Capital will the firm hire? What is the value of Consumer Surplus in this market?
- The Spacing Guild has a monopoly on space transport. They sell tickets(Q) for seats on starships for interstellar travel at a per-ticket price of P. Alltickets cost the same. The Marginal Cost for each seat is $16 and there are no other costs.Market demand is Q=306-5P. What is the difference between the Guild's PRICE and the price thatwould result if interstellar travel was a perfectly competitive market?Analyze graphically the difference between monopoly and perfectly competitive marketSuppose a monopoly faces the market demand in the nearby figure. It has constant marginal cost equal to $6. Find the perfectly competitive quantity and price assuming the market is made up of producers each with marginal cost $6. Give a numeric answer for each and show them on the graph. What is the efficient quantity? Give a numeric answer and show it on the graph. Which market structure, monopoly or perfect competition, comes closer to achieving the efficient quantity? Now suppose there is a negative externality associated with producing the good of $5 per unit. Now which market structure, monopoly or perfect competition, comes closer to achieving the efficient quantity? Explain briefly.
- Q1. Consider the following graph for a pure monopoly firm selling electricity. (a)What are the profit maximization output and price? How much is the profit? (b)Suppose the demand for electricity increases due to the unusually cold weather. Would the profit maximizing output increase or decrease? What about the price?Identify the following statement's accuracy and briefly state why. All participant in perfect competition is price taker, while in monopoly, only the monopoly power is the price maker while every other participant is a price taker the similarity between perfect competition and monopoly is the absence of government intervention. Perfect competition is economically efficient as it produces an equilibrium point in which the price and quantity of goods is equal, thus maximising the total surplus. In monopoly, the market is inefficient as monopoly power maximises their revenue by setting their own price. This would create a scenario where consumer surplus will decrease and producer surplus will increases, as well as the presence of deadweight loss, which were the potential gain that is not realised by consumer or producer.e) Describe how monopoly is different from perfect competition in terms of characteristics,optimal conditions, and market and firm conditions.

The computer industry is currently perfectly competitive and in equilibrium. Suppose all firms in the industry are taken over by a single firm that establishes a monopoly in the market. Assuming the monopoly maximizes profit, Select one: there will be no effect on the price of computers. Ob. the price of computers will increase from $400 to $600, but there will be no change in quantity demanded. Oc. the price of computers will be set equal to the marginal cost of computers. O d the price of computers will increase from $400 to $600, and the quantity demanded will fall from 400 to 200 per day.For a monopoly, why is marginal revenue less than price? a) If a monopoly wishes to increase sales, it must raise the price to all customers. The impact of the price effect alone causes marginal revenue to be less than price. b) If a monopoly wishes to increase sales, it must lower the price to all customers. The impact of the quantity effect alone causes marginal revenue to be less than price. If a monopoly wishes to increase sales, it must lower the price to all customers. The marginal revenue will be less than the price because of the impact of the price effect working with the quantity effect. d) If a monopoly wishes to increase sales, it must raise the price to all customers. The impact of the price effect, working with the quantity effect, causes marginal revenue to be less than price. If a monopoly wishes to increase sales, it must lower the price to all customers. The impact of the price effect alone causes marginal revenue to be less than price.
