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.
If a monopolist with significant barriers to entry is making positive economic profit in the short run, what do we expect to happen as the market transitions to the long run? O The profit will increase since the monopolist has no competition, they can just raise the price to earn higher profits. O It will decrease as positive economic profit signals new firms to enter the market, increasing the market supply, and lowering the prevailing price. O It will increase, in the long run firms will drop out the market increasing the monopolists dominance in the marketplace. O The profit will stay the same, strong barriers to entry prevent new competition.
