- How is the perceived demand curve for a monopolistically competitive film different from the perceived demand curve for a monopoly or a perfectly competitive film?Why does a monopoly arise? O because of diseconomies of scale because entry to an industry is blocked because of elastic demand because firms want to maximize profitsIdentify and discuss three ways in which a perfectly competitive market structure differsfrom a Monopoly.
- An economist was trying to understand the relation between price, Marginal Revenueand Marginal cost in Monopoly and Perfect Competition. Determine equilibrium priceand output in the long run under Monopoly and Perfect Competition if the marketdemand curve is given as QD=500-2P and Marginal cost is Rs 50. Also comment onthe values obtained in the case of Monopoly and Perfect CompetitionOver a recent family dinner, your Aunt Trudy expresses her disdain for price discriminating monopoly businesses, to which you, having taken some economics reply, "A perfect price discriminating monopoly may convert all of the consumer surplus to monopoly profit, but at least it produces O A. more output than a competitive industry would produce. OB. the same output that a competitive industry would produce. C. at the minimum of its average total cost (ATC) curve. D. where its marginal cost (MC) curve is still declining.The graph illustrates an industry in which many firms operating in perfect competition are taken over by one firm that operates as a single-price monopoly. Draw the following shapes: 1) the consumer surplus arising from monopoly. Label it CS. 2) the deadweight loss arising from monopoly. Label it DWL 3) the loss of consumer surplus that is a gain to the monopoly as producer surplus. Label it Monopoly's gain. Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. At the competitive equilibrium, marginal social benefit equals marginal social cost. At the competitive equilibrium, the sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus is maximized. At the long-run competitive equilibrium, firms produce at the lowest possible long-run average cost. 30- 25- 20 15- 10- 5- Price and cost (dollars per haircut) 0+ 0.0 MR 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 Quantity (thousands of haircuts) MSC 5.0
- Only typed answer If a monopoly faces an inverse demand curve of p= 210−Q, has a constant marginal and average cost of $90,and can perfectly price discriminate, what is its profit? What are the consumer surplus, welfare, and dead weightloss? How would these results change if the firm were a single-price monopoly? Profit from perfect price discrimination (π) is $ _____ (Enter your response as a whole number.)Figure 15-1Refer to Figure 15-1. Which of the following statements about the firm depicted in the diagram is true? The fact that this firm is a natural monopoly is shown by the continually declining marginal revenue curve as output rises. The fact that this firm is a natural monopoly is shown by the fact that marginal cost lies below the long-run average total cost where the firm maximizes its profits. The fact that this firm is a natural monopoly is shown by the continually declining long-run average total cost as output rises. The fact that this firm is a natural monopoly is shown by the continually declining market demand curve as output rises.The figure to the right shows the average cost of production (AC) for a cable company that is a monopoly as well as the corresponding demand (D) for cable subscriptions in the city to which the company provides service. Is this company a natural monopoly? This firm O A. is a natural monopoly because average cost is decreasing when it crosses demand. B. is not a natural monopoly because its demand is downward sloping. C. is a natural monopoly because total cost does not always increase with output. O D. is a natural monopoly because it has excess capacity. O E. is not a natural monopoly because it must advertise.

O I choose to use one of my three skips on this question. O 45 units per year and the price will be $19. 65 units per year and the price will be $19. O 45 units per year and the price will be $15.HotAir Balloon Rides is a single-price monopoly. The table gives the demand schedule for balloon rides (columns 1 and 2) and HotAir's total cost schedule (columns 2 and 3). Now suppose that the government places a fixed tax of $40,000 a month on HotAir. What is HotAir's new profit-maximizing output, price, and economic profit? >>> Remember that the amounts in the table are given in thousands of dollars. When HotAir is producing its new profit-maximizing output, the number of rides it produces is a month. >>> Answer to 1 decimal place.
