- In the following table, which contains the demand schedule for a monopolist, enter the total revenue (TR) and marginal revenue (MR) for each price. For each price–quantity combination (that is, table row), indicate whether demand is elastic, unitary elastic, or inelastic at that point on the demand curve. Hint: Do not calculate the price elasticity of demand mathematically. Instead, use what you know about elasticity along different segments of a linear demand curve to determine the elasticity of each price–quantity combination.arrow_forwardA profit-maximizing monopolist faces demand p, = 150 – q. . And suppose its marginal cost is q, what price should it charge if it charges one price for all consumers? What will be DWL, consumer surplus and producer surplus in that case? What prices should it charge to high demand and low demand consumers if it price discriminates according to quantity ? (Suppose there are two groups). What will be DWL, consumer surplus and producer surplus in that case?arrow_forwardThe following graph gives the demand (D) curve for 5G LTE services in the fictional town of Streamship Springs. The graph also shows the marginal revenue (MR) curve, the marginal cost (MC) curve, and the average total cost (ATC) curve for the local 5G LTE company, a natural monopolist. On the following graph, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for this natural monopolist. 20 18 16 1 20 1 PRICE (Dollars per gigabyte of data) 2 ATC MC- Monopoly Outcome MR D 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 QUANTITY (Gigabytes of data) Which of the following statements are true about this natural monopoly? Check all that apply. The 5G LTE company is experiencing diseconomies of scale. It is more efficient on the cost side for one producer to exist in this market rather than a large number of producers. In order for a monopoly to exist in this case, the government must have intervened and created it. The 5G LTE company is experiencing economies of scale. True or…arrow_forward
