Question 9 True/False: Natural monopolies occur because they have a declining average cost curve over large outputs relative to the market demand, Group of answer choices True False
Natural monopolies often occur because of huge economies of scale. is this true or false
true or false Natural monopolies are regulated by government agencies.
If a perfectly competitive industry can produce chocolate at a constant marginal cost of $2.00 per unit. When the industry is monopolized, the marginal cost of producing Chocolate increase $4.00 per unit. Market demand: QD = 100 − 10P,1. Solve for the perfectly competitive output, price, and industry profit.2. Solve for the monopoly output, price, and profit.3. Calculate the loss of consumer surplus form monopolization of chocolate production.
Question 25.25. a.) What is the relationship between economies of scale and a natural monopoly? b.) Why is the level of output at which marginal revenue equals marginal cost the profit-maximizing output?
Which statement best explains why a city water system has a natural monopoly structure? A water system may set prices at any level it wants to maximize profits and acts in its own interest. A water system requires so little innovation that there is little incentive for businesses to compete for the market. The cost for a competing water system to enter the market is so high that the return on investment is too low. The marginal cost to additional consumers is extremely high compared with average cost for the water system.
Can I have the written solution? Thank you!
List and explain three reasons for strong barriers to entry that make it difficult for new firms to enter the market where existing firms are earning economic profits.
35. Consider a publicly owned nondiscriminating monopoly whose marginal cost is 10, whose average cost is 10 +90/Q, and whose demand curve is P = 100 –-Q, where P is price and Q is quantity. The government instructs the firm to produce a quantity such that MC = P. Which of the following statements is true? %3D (a) The firm makes a profit of 90 (b) The firm breaks even (c) The firm requires a subsidy of 90 (d) The firm makes a profit of 100 (e) The firm requires a subsidy of 100
Question 4: Show a Monopoly earning super normal profit and explain what are the loss to the society in terms of welfare loss (consumer and producer surplus) by comparing it with perfect competition?
b) Sketch a diagram representing the typical demand, revenue and cost curves for a monopoly. Identify the point of profit maximising output and associated price. Finally, assuming the same marginal costs, show what would be the difference in price and output in the case of perfect competition.
Economies of scale tend to create natural monopolies. true or false
