hey how are you a)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.    b)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.    c)Why the demand curve for a firm operating in monopolistic competition is more elastic compared to the firm operating as a monopoly.
The inverse demand function in the industry is p(y)=10-2y. The marginal costs are constant and equal 2, the fixed costs are zero. a. If the industry is perfectly competitive, what are the equilibrium output and price? b. If there is a single monopolist in the industry, what are the equilibrium output and price? What is the profit? c. Suppose now that the monopolist can perfectly discriminate all customers and charge different prices. How many units will be sold and what will be the profit? d. Find the deadweight loss due to monopolies in parts b. and c.?
a.   At what output rate and price does the monopolist operate?         b.   In equilibrium, approximately what is the firm’s total cost and total revenue?         c.   What is the firm’s economic profit or loss in equilibrium?
