Gas Light, Inc. is currently the only natural gas supplier in a region. The company maximizes its profit when it sells 10 billion m³ of gas at $0.60 per m³. Gas Light's marginal cost is constant at $0.30 per m³. If the market was perfectly competitive, it would supply 20 billion m³ of gas at $0.30 per m³. What is the deadweight loss resulting from the monopoly? $ A billion.
A monopolist faces the following market demand function: D(P) = 100 – P and has total costs equal to TC(Q) = 100 + 100 Show that the monopolist's cost function is subadditive for all relevant levels of demand (for all Q< 100). (Hint: Let EN Qi = Q be a way to split up the total production of quantity Q in N different firms. You can then use the fact that the minimum of EN Q? is reached at Qi = 8.)
Suppose the market for asparagus has the following (inverse) market demand schedule: p=88-0.2Q The industry has the following cost structure: MC = ATC = $4 The Amalgamated Asparagus Company is looking to spend factor resources in socially-wasteful legal battles and advertising campaigns to maintain a full monopoly in this market. Answer the following. a. For its monopoly, Amalgamated Asparagus is willing to pay resources worth up to $14070 Suppose that competitive rent-seeking pressures cause Amalgamated Asparagus to pay its maximum willingness-to-pay for monopoly rights. b. Social cost of this monopoly = $ 4410 Hint: Your answer to (a) should be whole number. Think about why.
Question 27 Consider a monopoly market in which the market demand curve is given by P = 240 – 2Q, the marginal revenue curve is MR = 240 – 4Q, the marginal cost curve is MC = 2Q, and there are zero fixed costs.

How much is the resulting gain in total surplus? 300 800 400 600

Consider the weekly market for gyros in a popular neighborhood close to campus. Suppose this market is operating in long-run competitive equilibrium with many gyro vendors in the neighborhood, each offering basically the same gyros. Due to the structure of the market, the vendors act as price takers and each individual vendor has no market power. The following graph displays the supply (S = MC) and demand (D) curves in the weekly market for gyros. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the market price and quantity that will result from competition.
