Refer to the above table. Given the demand and cost schedules, what is the profit maximizing quantity for this monopolist?
Show that a monopoly will not necessarily lower its price by the same percentage as its constant marginal cost drops: 1.) Use the point drawing tool to indicate the initial equilibrium price and quantity. Label this point 'E'. 2.) Use the line drawing tool to show a 50 percent decrease in marginal cost. Label this line 'MC₁'. 3.) Use the point drawing tool to indicate the new equilibrium price and quantity. Label this point 'E,'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. What is the percentage change in the price given a 50 percent decrease in marginal cost? The price decreased by percent.

1. A little town in the Midwest obtains all of its electricity from one company, Northstar Electric. Although the company is a natural monopoly, it is owned by the citizens of the town, all of whom split the profits equally at the end of each year. The CEO of the company claims that because all of the profits will be given back to the citizens, it makes economic sense to charge a monopoly price for electricity. True or False? Explain. Feel free to draw a graph to illustrate your answer.

1. Asssume the following equations describe the conditions for an unregulated monopoly: Qd = q = 25,000 -100P or P = 250-0.01q TC = 480,000 + 70q + 0.005q2 where Qd is the quantity demanded for the firm, P is the commodity's price in dollars, TC is total cost in dollars, and q is the quantity of output produced. Based upon the above equations, answer the following questions: a. What is the firm's profit maximizing quantity of output? b. What price will the firm charge for the commodity c. What does the firm's total economic profit equal? d. What is the amount of deadweight loss that exists given the monopoly is unregulated? Assume the government is now going to regulate this monopoly, and the regulators want to guarentee the monopolist produces the socially optimal quantity of output. e. What is the socially optimal quantity of output? f. What price would regulators establish to guarantee the monopolist produces the socially optimal quantity of output? g. What does the firm's…
The graph depicts the market for cable where there is one natural monopoly; AC represents average (total) cost, D represents market demand, and MR represents marginal revenue. Assume that the marginal cost is equal to 0. Suppose that before the cable company lays any cable, the government decides to regulate the monopoly by setting the price. What is the lowest price that regulators can impose while ensuring that the cable company enters the market? 2 What will a monopolist charge in the absence of any regulation? 4 Price $10 9 8 7 6 5 4- 3- تیا 2 1 0 1 AC 2 MR نیا D 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Households (in millions)
3. Natural monopoly analysis The following graph gives the demand (D) curve for satellite TV 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 satellite TV 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 Outcome In order for a monopoly to exist in this case, the government must have intervened and created it. It is more efficient on the cost side for one producer to exist in this market rather than a large number of producers. The satellite TV company must own a scarce resource.…
