Question
a) You might have experienced differential prices in your daily life. Please share your experience
and explain why the service providers were able to charge you different prices at different places?
b) How did the service provider, you benefited from, make the differential prices work?
c) Do you think Monopoly increases general welfare?
Suppose the local electrical company, a legal monopoly based on economies of scale, was split into four firms of equal size, with the idea that eliminating the monopoly would promote competitive pricing of electricity. What do you anticipate would happen to prices? Why?
What stops oligopolists from acting together as a monopolist and earning the highest possible level of profits? Is there a way for oligopolists to attempt to cooperate and maximize profits? What are the risks of such attempts (and ultimately, generally cause such attempts to fail)?

This does not mean that you will, in fact, charge the minimum or maximum price. It simply gives you an idea of the range of prices your demand curve allows you to charge. What are the quantities corresponding to the minimum and maximum price? Please show your work and explain how you calculated these prices and quantities.

- We learned that in a competitive market equilibrium the Marginal Cost equals the Price, as Marginal Revenue is the same as Price for a perfectly competitive seller. Now, how does the Marginal Cost compare to Price at the monopolist's profit maximizing output and price combination? If Price is generally seen as the monetized Marginal Benefit to consumers of the product and Price exceeds Marginal Cost, then this is allocatively inefficient, as Marginal Benefit exceeds Marginal Cost.arrow_forwardDoes the presence of online auction sites, such as eBay, make it easier or harder for traditional retailers and wholesalers to engage in profitable price discrimination? It won't make a difference. Easier. Harder.arrow_forwardWhat stops oligopolists from acting together as a monopolist and earning the highest possible level of profits?arrow_forward
