Does a monopolist have a supply curve? Explain your answer. What are the different types of price discrimination? Differentiate between an oligopoly and a monopolistic competition (i.e. number of firms and the degree of product differentiation). How are skilled and unskilled workers in an economy likely to be affected if the firms adopt skill-biased technologies?
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)?
Refer to Diagram 2 above, which represents a monopolist firm, to answer the following questions. product = marginal product x selling price per unit).   What quantity will this firm produce and what price will it charge?   Suppose this monopolist firm becomes regulated and the regulatory agency wants to achieve economic efficiency. What price would the agency require the monopoly to charge and what quantity will the firm produce as a result?   If the monopolist charges a price that will achieve economic efficiency, will the monopolist be making a profit or loss? Explain your answer with a calculation.     Now suppose the government regulates the monopoly by imposing a price ceiling of $60. How many units will be produced? Will every customer who is willing to pay the ceiling price of $60 be able to buy the product? Explain why or why not.   Based on the price ceiling of $60, what will be the profit of this monopolist?
