QUESTION 9 After a complex process of mergers and acquisitions, the technology company Globocorp Enterprises has acquired control of all the world's sigmantium (which is a semi-conductor that is essential to manufacture mobile phones). As a result of its control of international sigmantium production, Globocorp Enterprises is now the world's only supplier of mobiles and it therefore operates as a profit maximising monopolist in this market. Their marginal cost of production for each mobile is $160 per phone. Below is a table of prices Globocorp can charge for each mobile that it produces, and the corresponding quantities sold on any given day. Price ($/mobile phone) 400 380 360 340 320 300 Quantity (mobile phones) 45000 50000 55000 60000 65000 70000 What is Globocorp Enterprises' daily revenue at the profit maximising level of production?

Table 17-4 Only two firms, ABC and XYZ, sell a particular product. The following table shows the demand curve for their product. Each firm has the same constant marginal cost of $8 and zero fixed cost. Price Quantity Total Demanded Revenue (Dollars per unit) (Units) (Dollars) 28 26 130 24 10 240 22 15 330 20 20 400 18 25 450 16 30 480 14 35 490 12 40 480 10 45 450 8 50 400 55 330 4 60 240 2 65 130 70 Refer to Table 17-4. If this market were perfectly competitive instead of oligopolistic, what quantity would be produced? а. 25 b. 50 С. 35 d. 70 O O O O
Question III (20 points): Consider the case of two natural monopolists for two different products, with identical long-run average costs and identical horizontal long run-marginal costs. The first monopolist faces a relatively inelastic demand, and the second monopolist faces a relatively elastic demand. Both demands, however, share the same vertical intercept. Explain the following, showing the justification to your explanation with properly labeled graphs (use a separate graph for each of a and b below): a. Which monopolist is the less likely target for government regulation? Why? b. If the government considers making both products a "public good" produced by the monopolists. Which product will place a heavier burden on the government's budget?
A monopoly, unlike a perfectly competitive firm, has some market power. Thus, it can raise its price, within limits, without quantity demanded falling to zero. The main way monopolies retain their market power is through barriers to entry, which prevent other companies from entering monopolized markets and competing for customers. Consider the market for public water. In this industry, low average total costs are obtained only through large-scale production. In other words, the initial cost of setting up all the necessary pipes and treatment plants makes it risky and most likely unprofitable for a competitor to enter the market. Which of the following best explains the barriers to entry that exist in this scenario? O Legal barriers O Control over an important input O Increasing returns to scale
Describe three possible barriers to entry that may be used to maintain monopolistic conditions in an industry
The government has announced its plans to license two firms to serve a market whose demand curve is given by P= 72-1Q The technology is such that each can produce any given level of output at zero cost, but once each firm's output is chosen, it cannot be altered. Instructions: Round your answers to the nearest penny (2 decimal places). a. What is the most you would be willing to pay for one of these licenses if you knew you would be able to choose your level of output first (assuming your choice was observable by the rival firm)? Skipped b. How much would your ival be willing to pay for the right to choose second?
Consider the following scenario in a duopoly with homogeneous products: Marginal cost: $21 Market demand: 972 units Competitor's price: $41 Your price: $44 Assuming your competitor maintained their price, what would be your pricing response, and how many units would you expect to sell at that new price? (Enter dollar amounts to the nearest penny and units to the nearest whole number.) Pricing response: Sales: $ units
As their respective names imply, monopoly and monopolistic competition are the most similar of the four market structures
None
Consider a type of product whose market structure is monopolistic competition. In the shift from no trade in this type of product to free trade Multiple Choice a country will export the product only if the world price is higher than the country's no-trade price. the number of varieties or models of this type of product available to consumers will increase. factor prices in a country will change by large amounts If most of the country's trade in this type of product is Intra-Industry trade. the extra demand from foreign buyers for this type of product will increase the product price.
You are the manager for a monopoly with costs, demand, and marginal revenue as in the graph at the top on Figure 1. Does the fact that you operate in a monopoly always guarantee that you can achieve higher profits by increasing the price? Explain. Draw the area representing the profits on the top graph on Figure 1. Suppose one of your suppliers just announced an increase in prices for a specific part that your product requires. What should the impact be to each of the curves on the top graph of Figure 1? Explain carefully. Suppose economic conditions change in such a way that the demand curve for your company shifts left. Draw a demand curve on the bottom graph on Figure 1 that leads to zero economic profits. Draw a demand curve on the bottom graph on Figure 1 such that any further leftward demand shift will cause you to shutdown.
