Question

Show the market for some good where the seller is a monopolist. Indicate the price and quantity that the monopolist will choose and the efficient quantity (make sure they are labeled clearly!). Also show consumer and producer surplus (profit) and the dead weight loss.

Definition Definition Consumer surplus is the consumers' gain from trade. The consumer surplus is the area below the demand curve but above the equilibrium price, up to the equilibrium quantity. Producer surplus is the producer's gain from trade. The producer surplus is the area above the supply curve but below the equilibrium price, up to the equilibrium quantity. Consumer surplus is represented by Area A and producer surplus is represented by Area B.

Expert Solution

Step 1

A monopolist faces a downward-sloping demand curve because the monopolist is the only seller in the market. Therefore, the market demand curve is the monopolist's demand curve.

Socially efficient quantity is found where the dd curve and the MC curve intersect i.e

a social planner would charge P=MC
