- 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 5.0arrow_forwardQUESTION 21 Please refer to the figure below. and Cost 0 Demand R ED 225 ATC Quantity Which lettered point (i.e. A,B,C,D) is at the price-quantity combination that would exist under an unregulated monopoly? Which lettered point (i.e. A,B,C,D) is at the price-quantity combination that would be efficient, from society's perspective? Which lettered point (i.e. A,B,C,D) is at the price-quantity combination that, in theory, the regulator aims for?arrow_forwardDraw the graph. If the monopoly is a doing perfect price discrimination, then: 1. the monopoly produces a quantity Q = ______ where ________________ (which curves intersect?)2. the monopoly charges a price of ________ (trick question!!!!)3. the consumer surplus is CS = ______. 4. the producer surplus is PS = _________(identify the area on the graph and calculate it).5. this monopoly ________ (is / is not) efficient because ______________________.arrow_forward
- A natural monopoly occurs when A. marginal cost is constant. B. average cost is declining. C. marginal cost is below average cost. D. All of the above are true.arrow_forwardHow does the monopoly quantity (assuming no price discrimination) compare to the competitive quantity?
