Why might a firm have monopoly power even if it is not the only producer in the market? O A. There is an inverse relationship between monopoly power and the elasticity of the market demand curve, and as long as the demand curve is not perfectly elastic, firms will have some monopoly power. O B. There is a positive relationship between monopoly power and the elasticity of the firm's demand curve, and as long as its demand curve is not perfectly inelastic, the firm will have some monopoly power. OC. There is an inverse relationship between monopoly power and the elasticity of the firm's demand curve, and as long as its demand curve is not perfectly elastic, the firm will have some monopoly power. OD. There is a positive relationship between monopoly power and the elasticity of the market demand curve, and as long as the demand curve is not perfectly inelastic, firms will have some monopoly power. O E. There is an inverse relationship between monopoly power and the elasticity of the firm's demand curve, and as long as its demand curve is perfectly elastic the firm will have some monopoly power.

In 2006, the five leading suppliers of digital cameras in the United States were Canon,Sony, Kodak, Olympus, and Samsung. The combined market share of these five firmswas 60.9 percent. The leading firm was Canon, with a market share of 18.7 percent. Theown price elasticity for Canon’s cameras was –4.0 and the market elasticity of demandwas –1.6. Suppose that in 2006, the average retail price of a Canon digital camera was$240 and that Canon’s marginal cost was $180 per camera. Suppose you were the CEO of Kodak, what would you do to avoid its business failure? Please apply the specific tools from managerial economics to the case analysis

5. Suppose a company has a monopoly on a game called Monopoly and faces a demand curve given by QT = 100-P and a marginal revenue function given by MR = 100 - 2QT where QT equals the combined total number of games produced per hour in the company's two factories (QT = 91 + 92). If factory 1 has a marginal cost function given by MC₁ = q1-5 and factory 2 has a marginal cost function given by MC2 = 0.5q25, how much total output will the company choose to produce and how will it distribute this production between its two factories in order to maximize profits?
The figure to the right illustrates market demand for a monopoly along with its average total cost (ATC) curve. Is the monopoly a natural monopoly? The firm O A. is a natural monopoly because its demand curve is downward sloping. O B. is a natural monopoly because it has the potential to earn economic profits. OC. is not a natural monopoly because its demand curve is not infinitely elastic. O D. is not a natural monopoly because it experiences diseconomies of scale. OE E. is a natural monopoly because it can supply the entire market at lower average total cost than can two or more firms. Suppose 14 units of output are supplied in the market. How much lower is the average total cost of production for one firm compared to two firms? One firm can supply 14 units of output for $less per unit in average total cost than two firms. (Enter your response as an integer.) Price and cost (dollars per unit) 10.00- 9.00- 8.00- 7.00- 6.00- 5.00- 4.00- 3.00- 2.00- 1.00- 0.00- 0 2 4 6 ATC Demand 8 10…
