Why does a monopoly arise? O because of diseconomies of scale because entry to an industry is blocked because of elastic demand because firms want to maximize profits

What happens if a perfectly competitive industry becomes a monopoly? Suppose the demand curve in the figure is market demand and the corresponding market supply curve represents the marginal cost of production. Compared to perfect competition, a profit-maximizing monopoly would decrease output by 2 units. (Enter your response as an integer) In addition, a monopoly would lower price by $12 Price and cost per unit 20- 18- 10- 14- 12- 10- 8- 8- 4- 2 SMC D G MR 2 ° 10 12 14 10 18 20 Quantity

Using the new demand curve determine what happens to the marginal revenue as a result of the increase in demand? Assuming that the marginal cost curve stays the same. how will the new profit-maximizing quantity and price change?

Suppose a monopoly faces the market demand in the nearby figure. It has constant marginal cost equal to $6. Find the perfectly competitive quantity and price assuming the market is made up of producers each with marginal cost $6. Give a numeric answer for each and show them on the graph. What is the efficient quantity? Give a numeric answer and show it on the graph. Which market structure, monopoly or perfect competition, comes closer to achieving the efficient quantity? Now suppose there is a negative externality associated with producing the good of $5 per unit. Now which market structure, monopoly or perfect competition, comes closer to achieving the efficient quantity? Explain briefly.

Consider a monopoly firm producing laptops. Below are the equations describing this firm's economic conditions. Demand: Q = 10 – P Marginal Revenue: MR= 10 – 2Q Total Cost: TC = 4 + Q + 0.5Q² || Marginal Cost: MC=1+Q Choose all correct statements. The produced quantity is 3. В. The price charged is 6. n C. The profit this monopoly firm can make is 9.5. D. None of above is correct.
Simple econ question, thank you!
The graph illustrates an industry in which many firms operating in perfect competition are taken over by one firm that operates as a single-price monopoly. Draw the following shapes: 1) the consumer surplus arising from monopoly. Label it CS. 2) the deadweight loss arising from monopoly. Label it DWL 3) the loss of consumer surplus that is a gain to the monopoly as producer surplus. Label it Monopoly's gain. Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. At the competitive equilibrium, marginal social benefit equals marginal social cost. At the competitive equilibrium, the sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus is maximized. At the long-run competitive equilibrium, firms produce at the lowest possible long-run average cost. 30- 25- 20 15- 10- 5- Price and cost (dollars per haircut) 0+ 0.0 MR 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 Quantity (thousands of haircuts) MSC 5.0
