The electric company is allowed to operate as a monopoly. The marginal cost of the company is $2, while the fixed cost is $150 million annually. (a) If the price of the electric company was not regulated, what price would it set? What would be its profits and the deadweight loss? (b) Knowing the fixed cost, demand curve, and marginal cost of the utility, the regulator decides to set a linear price that allows the electric utility to break even. What is this price? What would be the deadweight loss? (c) Suppose that demand for electricity varies over the course of the day and is most inelastic in the middle of the day.
