BYOB is a monopolist in beer production and distribution in the imaginary economy of Hopsville. Suppose that BYOB cannot price discriminate; that is, it sells its beer at the same price per can to all customers. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and demand (D) for beer in this market. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for BYOB. If BYOB is making a profit, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. On the other hand, if BYOB is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing its loss. Suppose that BYOB charges $2.50 per can. Your friend Charles says that since BYOB is a monopoly with market power, it should charge a higher price of $3.00 per can because this will increase BYOB’s profit. Complete the following table to determine whether Charles is…

Suppose that a firm produces tennis racquets in a monopolistically competitive market. The following graph shows its demand curve (D), marginal revenue curve (MR), marginal cost curve (MC), and long-run average cost curve (LRAC). Assume that all firms in the industry face the same cost structure. Place the tan point (dash symbol) on the graph to indicate the long-run monopolistically competitive equilibrium price and quantity for this firm. Next, place the purple point (diamond symbol) to indicate the point at which this firm would produce in the long run if it operated in a perfectly competitive market.

Monopolistic competition creates inefficiency because of the markups and excess capacity. The graph below depicts the situation for a hypothetical monopolistically competitive firm. The curves included in the graph are demand (D), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and marginal cost (MC). The graph is not graded, but you can move the point labeled P to help you find the numeric values to answer the questions. Price $ 80 MC M 45 P D ATC Quantity What is the size of the markup on the price? Number $0 What is the size of the excess capacity? Number Units
Answer the question: Aside from advertising, how can monopolistically competitive firms increase demand for their products? What effect would doing this have on the elasticity of the firm’s perceived demand curve? Explain your answers.
