Consider a monopoly market in which the market demand curve is given by P = 240 – 2Q, the marginal revenue curve is MR = 240 – 4Q, the marginal cost curve is MC = 2Q, and there are zero fixed costs. Suppose the government intervenes and turns the market into a competitive market, and all the firms in the market have the same marginal cost curve as the monopolist, MC = 2Q, and zero fixed costs. How much is the resulting gain in total surplus?     300     800     400     600
