There is a monopolist in a market for a particular type of consumer goods. It is costly to create new types of products (brands) in this market, but consumers have different taste and thus some will prefer the new brand. Will the monopolist create too few brands or too many? Explain.
Suppose a monopolist faces a market demand curve Q = 50 - p. If marginal cost is constant and equal to zero, what is the magnitude of the welfare loss? If marginal cost increases to MC = 10, does welfare loss increase or decrease? Use a graph to explain your answer.
What is the monopolist's strategy of price discrimination? How this strategy works to maximize monopoly profit?
