Draw a monopolists demand curve, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves. Identify the monopolists profit-maximizing output level. Now, think about a slightly higher level of output (sayQ0+1). According to the graph, is there any consumer willing to pay more than the marginal cost of that new level of output? If so, what does this mean?
How can a monopolist identify the profit-maximizing level of output if it knows its total revenue and total cost curves?
Is a monopolistically competitive firm productively efficient? Is it allocatively efficient? Why or why not?
Imagine a monopolist could charge a different price to every customer based on how much he or she were willing to pay. How would this affect monopoly profits?
How does the quantity produced and price charged by a monopolist compare to that of a perfectly competitive film?
Suppose the local electrical utility, a legal monopoly based on economies of scale, was split into four films of equal size, with the idea that eliminating the monopoly would promote competitive pricing of electricity. What do you anticipate would happen to prices?
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?
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?
Return to Figure 9.2. Suppose P0 is 10 and P1 is 11. Suppose a new firm with the same LRAC curve as the incumbent tries to bleak into the market by selling 4,000 units of output. Estimate from the graph what the new firms average cost of producing output would be. If the incumbent continues. to produce 6,000 units, how much output would the two films supply to the market? Estimate what would happen to the market price as a result of the supply of both the incumbent firm and the new entrant. Approximately how much profit would each firm earn?

Suppose demand for a monopolys product falls 50 that its profit-maximizing price is below average variable cost. How much output should the film supply? Hint: Draw the graph.
