Assume that the demand for electric cars is p = 100-q (where q is the quantity and p is the price), and that an innovation can reduce the constant marginal cost of production from 70 to 60.   What is the definition of nondrastic/drastic innovation? Confirm that the innovation for electric cars is nondrastic. Show that marginalcost would have to be reduced to less than 40 for theinnovation to bedrastic. Suppose that the industry is a monopoly (not threatened by entry). Howmuch is this firm willing to pay to acquire the innovation?
The following graph shows the demand (D) for gas services in the imaginary town of Utilityburg. The graph also shows the marginal revenue (MR) curve, the marginal cost (MC) curve, and the average total cost (ATC) curve for the local gas 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 Monopoly Outcome 16 14 12 10 8 ATC MC MR 2 3 5 7 8 10 QUANTITY (Hundreds of cubic feet) Which of the following statements are true about this natural monopoly? Check all that apply. The gas company is experiencing economies of scale. The gas company must own a scarce resource. It is more efficient on the cost side for one producer to exist in this market rather than a large number of producers. The gas company is experiencing diseconomies of scale. True or False: Without government regulation, natural monopolies always earn zero profit in the long run. True False D. 2. PRICE…
Below is a representation of the demand curve for diamonds. Assume DeBeers is operating as a monopoly. 1. As a monopolist, what is the total effect of a price change from $2,400 to $1,600 on revenue? Break this change into an increase and a decrease. If you were to do exercise 1 in for every marginal change in price, you would find the marginal revenue curve. The marginal revenue diagram has been provided for the next exercises, along with the marginal costs for DeBeers.
