- Can you think of any examples of successful predatory pricing in the real world?Imagine that you ale managing a small firm and thinking about entering the market of a monopolist. The monopolist is currently charging a high price, and you have calculated that you can make a nice profit charging 10 less than the monopolist. Before you go ahead and challenge the monopolist, what possibility should you consider for how the monopolist might react?From the graph you drew to answer Exercise 11.6, would you say this transit system is a natural monopoly? Justify. Use the following information to answer the next three questions. In the years before wireless phones, when telephone technology requited having a wile matting to every home, it seemed plausible that telephone service had diminishing average costs and might require regulation like a natural monopoly. For most of the twentieth century, the national U.S. phone company was AT&T, and the company functioned as a regulated monopoly. Think about the deregulation of the U.S. telecommunications industry that has occurred over the last few decades. (This is not a research assignment, but a thought assignment based on what you have learned in this chapter.)

The firm's demand curve is p= 500 - 4Q. (Round all nurmeric responses to two docimal places.) What is the monopoly's unregulated profit-maximizing quantity? What is the unregulated profit-maximizing price? $. What is the monopoly's profit? $ What would be the deadweight loss? 5
- a) What are the output and price where the firm’s profit is maximum? What is the firm’s economic profit? Show solution. b) Determine the deadweight loss for this market. What is the source of the deadweight loss in a monopoly? c) If government regulators where to ask the firm to charge a price and quantity that would be socially (or allocatively) efficient, what would these price and quantity be? At this output and price, what would happen to the consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus compared to the situation under monopoly.Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Suppose that a monopolist whose marginal cost curve is MC(Q)=Q faces the demand curve P=10-2Q. What is monopolist's profit-maximizing quantity, profit-maximizing price, the total surplus (under monopoly profit maximization), also called the "monopoly market surplus," and if the monopolist can perfectly price discriminate, then deadweight loss equals...?Tecky Corp is a monopoly in the market of product Y. Suppose you are the marketing manager of Tecky Corp. You have gathered some information about product Y and the cost of Tecky Corp. as shown in the table below.
