The monopolist is productively-efficient, because, like the perfect competitor, it operates at minimum ATC is the long-run. True False
For the unregulated, single-price monopoly shown in the figure above, when its profit is maximized, output will be
a. At what output rate and price does the monopolist operate? b. In equilibrium, approximately what is the firm’s total cost and total revenue? c. What is the firm’s economic profit or loss in equilibrium?
Referring to the given graph of a monopoly firm, which statement states a correct outcome in case of single price for good is charged by a monopolist: D MR -MC-ATC D Quantity Area A represents the consumer surplus, Area C represents the producer surplus and deadweight loss is represented by area B+D+E. Area B represents the consumer surplus, Area C+D represents the producer surplus and deadweight loss is represented by area D+E. Area A+B represents the consumer surplus; Area C+D represents the producer surplus and deadweight loss is represented by area E. Area A+B represents the consumer surplus; Area C represents the producer surplus and deadweight loss is represented by area E+F.
Figure monopolist, to answer questions a-c. a. indicate the profit maximizing price and output level and label them P 1 and Q 1. b. Shade in the area that represents the firm's economic profit (or loss). c. If this firm wished to discourage entry by other firms it could produce the output level at which it earns only a zero economic profit. Indicate the price and output level associated with a zero economic profit and label them P 2 and Q 2.
The Mamas and the Papas, a monopolist, faces a constant marginal cost of $3 of producing cashews. If it believes the elasticity of demand for cashews is -4, calculate the price it should charge for its product.
Suppose that for a monopoly average total cost is $35, marginal cost is $30, and marginal revenue is $35 with a selling price of $40. To maximize profits, the monopoly should A B C D increase output but decrease price. decrease both output and price. increase both output and price. decrease output but increase price.
The Mamas and the Papas, a monopolist, faces a constant marginal cost of $3 of producing cashews. If it believes the elasticity of demand for cashews is -4, calculate the price it should charge for its product. Write answer explicitly
Consider a monopoly market in which the initial price is $40K, the initial quantity is 20, and the elasticity of demand is -2.5. A government program directly supplies an additional 4 units at the market price. For example, this is surplus equipment being auctioned to the highest bidder. a) Estimate MC. Thereafter assume it is constant. b) Use the initial equilibrium and the elasticity of demand to approximate the initial demand curve. c) Approximate the monopolist’s demand after the program provides 4 units. d) Estimate the new price, the new quantity provided by the monopolist, and the new quantity consumed by customers. e) Sketch the situation. f) Estimate the impact on CS, PS, GS, and SS assuming the METB is 0.25.
