You have been granted a monopoly in the avocado market. The market demand for avocados is Q = 2000 – 2P. Your cost structure is such that your total costs are TC = 1000+ 400Q. (limit: whatever needed) What is your profit maximizing price and quantity? Explain this in words and show it graphically. What are the profit, producer surplus and consumer surplus? The government is thinking about breaking your monopoly into ten identical firms and giving ownership to 10 random people. Correspondingly, each firm would have a fixed cost of $1000 and a marginal production cost of $400 per unit. In this perfectly competitive environment, what would be the equilibrium price and quantity? Explain this in words and show it graphically. What are the profit per firm, producer surplus and consumer surplus that correspond to your answer to part d)? How much would you be willing to pay to keep the government from taking your monopoly away? Explain.
The graph illustrates an industry in which many firms operating in perfect competition are taken over by one firm that operates as a single-price monopoly. Draw the following shapes: 1) the consumer surplus arising from monopoly. Label it CS. 2) the deadweight loss arising from monopoly. Label it DWL 3) the loss of consumer surplus that is a gain to the monopoly as producer surplus. Label it Monopoly's gain. Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. At the competitive equilibrium, marginal social benefit equals marginal social cost. At the competitive equilibrium, the sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus is maximized. At the long-run competitive equilibrium, firms produce at the lowest possible long-run average cost. 30- 25- 20 15- 10- 5- Price and cost (dollars per haircut) 0+ 0.0 MR 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 Quantity (thousands of haircuts) MSC 5.0
