Under one form of government price regulation, the government sets the price at a level (which is equal to $20 in the above graph) and the firm then sets MC equal to the regulated price to determine a profit-maximizing quantity at the regulated price. (a) If the regulated price is $20 per unit, how many units will the regulated monopoly produce? (b) If the regulated price is $20, how much will consumers want to buy? (c) Is there a surplus or a shortage or neither at the regulated price? If there is a surplus or shortage, how much is the surplus or shortage? (d) At what regulated price would the deadweight loss be zero? (e) Will the deadweight loss of the monopoly represented in the above graph be larger, smaller or the same at a price of $20 compared to at a price of $200? You do not have to calculate the deadweight loss at either price, you just have to state whether the deadweight loss is larger, smaller or the same at $20 compared to $200.
(a) By how much do revenues increase if this firm sells one more (small) unit of output?By how much does its cost go up if it produces one more (small) unit of output?

(c) What is the maximum amount of money Andrew would be willing to spend lob- bying the government to avoid the price regulation you identified in (b)? 2.
