What happens if a perfectly competitive industry becomes a monopoly? Suppose the demand curve in the figure is market demand and the corresponding market supply curve represents the marginal cost of production. Compared to perfect competition, a profit-maximizing monopoly would decrease output by 2 units. (Enter your response as an integer) In addition, a monopoly would lower price by $12 Price and cost per unit 20- 18- 10- 14- 12- 10- 8- 8- 4- 2 SMC D G MR 2 ° 10 12 14 10 18 20 Quantity

ssume there is no price discrimination: Matthew, Rachel, Janice, and Mandy own the only ice company in town (they have a monopoly on the ice market). Matthew wants to sell as much ice as possible without losing money. Rachel wants the ice company to bring in as much revenue as possible. Janice wants to maximize total surplus and Many wants to make the largest possible profit. Use ONE clearly-labelled graph of the ice company’s marginal revenue, demand, and cost curves to show the price and quantity (i.e., ice) each person desires. Provide explanation.
Now suppose that an environmental regulation raises Firm 2’s costs to 18. Firm 1’s costs remain the same. Will Firm 1 become a monopoly? What will the market price be and what will each firm’s production be? What will each firm’s profits be?
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. 4.00 Esc 3.50 + PRICE (Dollars per can) 3.00 + 2.50 78°F Sunny 2.00 1.50 1.00 + MC 0.50 + F1 1 F2 Ö- @ ATC F3 0+ # F4 F5 ▬ Monopoly Outcome 0 Profit COL F6 Loss O F7 1 F8 n F9 F10 F11 F12 2 Fn Lock ( 1 6/2 Insert Prt Sc
Graphically show a monopoly firm that currently sells 250 units of output at a price of $60/unit, where the marginal revenue of the 250th unit is $40, the marginal cost of the 250th unit is $50, and the average total cost at 250 units is $60. [Hint: Based on the information given, is the quantity you’re asked to show the profit-maximizing quantity? Think about what has to be true for profit-maximization.] Based on the graph and assuming the firm attempts to profit maximize (and succeeds), what would happen to price, quantity, MR, MC, and ATC? (rise, fall, or stay the same?)
Serena is profit-maximizing monopolist selling of her own patented perfume, whose demand and marginal cost curves are as shown. 1. Serena is profit-maximizing monopolist selling of her own patented perfume, whose demand and marginal cost curves are as shown. Relative to the consumer surplus that would result at the perfectly competitive quantity and price, how much consumer surplus is lost from her selling at the monopolist's profit-maximizing quantity and price? $ per ounce 60 50 45 40 30 20 15 10 0 468 12 16 Ounces/day MC D 24 2. In the first problem, how much total surplus would Serena have made if she acted as a perfectly price-discriminating monopolist? Show your work. 3. Explain the difference between the demand curve faced by a perfectly competitive firm and the demand curve faced by a monopoly. Draw both curves and explain why they are different. How do these demand curves cause marginal revenue to differ across the two types of firm? 4. Explain the incentives created by…
