Suppose a monopoly firm’s total cost of production TC = f + c•Q where f > 0 and c > 0. Is this firm a “natural monopoly”? Answer ‘Yes” or “No” based on your explanation of the meaning of a “natural monopoly.”
Consider a single-price monopoly. The government is considering to impose 10% tax on its profits. After the tax, the deadweight loss in this market will increase. True False
When a per unit tax is placed on the sale of a product with a linear demand curve, the resulting price increase under monopoly will Be less than the tax in the long run and short run Be more than the tax in the long run and short run Will equal the tax increase in the long run O Will be less than the tax increase in the short run and equal to the tax increase in the long run
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.
Assume the following equations describe the conditions for a monopoly: Qd = 2,000 - 100P TC = 3,500 + 5q + .005q2 Where Qd is the quantity demanded, P is the commodity's price in dollars, TC is the firm's total cost in dollars and q is the quantity of output produced. Based upon these equations, answer the following questions: a. What is the firm's equation for total revenue expressed as a function of quantity? b. What is the firm's equation for marginal revenue expressed as a function of quantity? What is the firm's equation for marginal cost expressed as a function of quantity? c. What is the firm's profit maximizing quantity of output? d. What price will the firm charge for the commodity? e. What would be the socially optimal quantity of output? f. What price would regulators have to establish in order to have the firm produce the socially optimal quantity of output?
Assume that one of the hot dog vendors successfully lobbies the city council to obtain the exclusive right to sell hot dogs within the city limits. This firm buys up all the rest of the hot dog vendors in the city and operates as a monopoly. Assume that this change doesn't affect demand and that the new monopoly's marginal cost curve corresponds exactly to the supply curve on the previous graph. Under this assumption, the following graph shows the demand (D), marginal revenue (MR), and marginal cost (MC) curves for the monopoly firm. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the following graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity of a monopolist. PRICE (Dollars per hot dog) 5.0 4.5 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0 0 45 Monopoly MC MR 90 135 180 225 270 315 QUANTITY (Hot dogs) D 360 405 450 Monopoly Outcome Deadweight Loss ?
For a monopoly, marginal revenue is less than price because A) the firm is a price taker. B) the firm must lower price if it wishes to sell more output. C) the firm can sell all of its output at any price. D) the demand for the firm's output is perfectly elastic.
The Spacing Guild has a monopoly on space transport. They sell tickets (Q) for seats on starships for interstellar travel at a per-ticket price of P. All tickets cost the same. The Marginal Cost for each seat is $19 and there is a fixed cost of $5,610. Market demand is Q=462-2P. If the government imposes a price ceiling of $33, what is the Guild's PROFITS in the SHORT-run? Enter a number only, drop the $ sign.
Price and cost (cents per newspaper) Tiny is a small, isolated community served by one newspaper that can meet the market demand at a lower cost than two or more newspapers could. The Tiny Intelligencer is the only source of news. MC 120- The graph shows the marginal cost of printing the Tiny Intelligencer and the market demand for it. The Tiny Intelligencer is a profit-maximizing, single-price monopoly. 100– What is the efficient number of copies of the newspaper and what is the price at which the efficient number of copies could be sold? 80- The efficient number of copies of the Tiny Intelligencer is and the price at which this number could be sold is cents a copy. 60- 40- 20- 0- 100 200 300 400 500 600 Quantity (newspapers per day) of
The Spacing Guild has a monopoly on space transport. They sell tickets(Q) for seats on starships for interstellar travel at a per-ticket price of P. Alltickets cost the same. The Marginal Cost for each seat is $16 and there are no other costs.Market demand is Q=306-5P. What is the difference between the Guild's PRICE and the price thatwould result if interstellar travel was a perfectly competitive market?
Suppose a local cable company provides cable service to a rural community. The figure to the right illustrates the cable company's marginal cost of providing cable service along with the community's demand for cable TV. Assume the local cable company is a monopoly. When the company maximizes profits, consumer surplus equals $ (enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to one decimal place), and producer surplus equals $ Compared to the perfectly competitive market outcome, the cable company creates dead weight loss equal to $ Price and cost (dollars per cable subscription) 120- 110- 100- 90- 80- 70- 60- 50- 40- 30- 20- 10- to 10 20 MR D 30 40 50 60 70 80 Quantity of cable subscriptions MC 90 100 ON
If the inverse demand curve a monopoly faces is p = 100 - 2Q, MC is constant at 16, and the government imposes an $8 per unit specific tax on the monopoly, the deadweight loss due to both the monopoly and the tax is A) $441. B) $1764. C) $1332. D) $529.
