Draw the cost curves for a typical firm. Explain how a competitive firm chooses the level of output that maximizes profit. At that level of output, show on your graph the firm’s total revenue and total cost.
Draw the demand curve, marginal revenue curve, average total cost curve, and marginal-cost curve for a monopolist. Show the profit-maximizing level of output, the profit-maximizing price, and the amount of profit.
Why the demand curve for a firm operating in monopolistic competition is more elastic compared to the firm operating as a monopoly. kindly solve all the parts.
Sara is a single-price, profit-maximizing monopolist who sells her own patented perfume (shown in the graph below).
a. What is the equilibrium price and quantity under monopoly conditions?
b. If instead Sara had to operate like a competitive firm, what would be the equilibrium price and quantity?
c. What is the deadweight loss and total loss to consumer surplus when Sara operates as a monopoly?
d. How much surplus would Sara have if she could act as a perfectly price-discriminating monopolist?
