- 1. BC Hydro (electricity) and ICBC (auto insurance) are both examples of monopolies in British Columbia. Do these entities add value to society or create higher cost and more inefficiency? Why or why not? 2. Find an example of an Oligopoly and explain how the entity you chose either adds value to society or instills unnecessary costs to the public.5. Imagine a monopolist could charge a different price to every customer based on how much he or she was willing to pay.

- (a) There are two companies in the world that produce large passenger aircraft, Boeing, and Airbus. How would you characterize the market for large passenger aircraft, monopoly, perfectly competitive, monopolistically competitive or Oligopoly? Please explain. Large passenger aircraft are defined as aircraft than can carry more than 150 passengers. (b) The market for telephone services has become more competitive over time with the advancement of technology in the industry. Technology in the aircraft manufacturing industry has also advanced significantly. Why hasn’t this improvement in technology led to an increase in competition (Boeing and Airbus have been the only manufacturers in this industry for many years)? Please explain.Part G H I1) A monopoly faces a demand curve P(Q) = 120 – 2Q, and has a marginal cost of 60. a. What is profit-maximizing level of output? What is the profit-maximizing price? How much profit the firm will make? b. Assume that a second firm enters the market. The new firm has an identical cost function. If the two firms enter in a Cournot competition, what will be the price in equilibrium? How much will each firm produce in equilibrium? How much profit will each firm make? c. If, instead, the two firms compete in a Stackelberg game (assume the incumbent firm is the leader), what will be the price in equilibrium? How much each firm will produce in equilibrium? How much profit will each firm make? d. Now assume the follower has to pay a fixed cost, f =100 if q>0. Does it change the follower's decision? Assume again they are playing a Stackelberg game.? e.
