Some years ago. two intercity bus companies, Greyhound Lines, Inc. and Trailways Transportation System, wanted to merge. One possible definition of the market for this case was the market for intercity bus service. Another possible definition was the market for intercity transportation, including personal cars, car rentals, passenger trains, and commuter air flights.' Which definition do you think the bus companies preferred, and why?
Classify the following as a government-enforced barrier to entry, a banker to entry that is not government enforced, or a situation that does not involve a barrier to entry. A City passes a law on how many licenses it will issue for taxicabs A city passes a law that all taxicab drivers must pass a driving safety test and have insurance A well-known trademark Owning a spring that offers very pure water An industry where economies of scale are very large compared to the size of demand in the market
Why are urban areas willing to subsidize urban transit systems? Does the argument for subsidies make sense to you?
3. a) Suppose a monopolistically competitive firm operates in a long run which produces 40 umits of output at 120 taka per-unit cost (average total cost). Also, MC of producing 40-unit output is 60 taka. By using this information, show the long run situation of a monopolistically competitive firm in an appropriate diagram. Show all the relevant information in your diagram. b) Calculate cxcess capacity if socially efficient output is 100 units. Show it in graph too. [Note: a) and b) are related questions]
Consider a competitive market for Good Y. This good involves a negative consumption externality. i) Is this market efficient? Why? ii) Imagine that the competitive market for Good Y consolidates and becomes a monopoly. Does this make the market more, or less efficient relative to the situation above? Include a graph to make the point clearer.

By using this information, show the long run situation of a monopolistically competitive firm in an appropriate diagram. c) Calculate excess capacity if socially efficient output is 100 units. Show it in graph too must answer C part.
Define externality. Also explain negative and positive externality.
(J) Suppose the production process of a particular good creates a negative externality such as pollution. Other things being equal, would society be better off if this good were produced by a perfectly competitive market or by a monopoly? a. Society would be better off if this good were produced by a perfectly competitive market, because a perfectly competitive market responds to consumers' desires in the long run b. Society would be better off if this good were produced by a perfectly competitive market, because a perfectly competitive market will produce the quantity where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost c. Society would be better off if this good were produced by a monopoly,
cap-and-trade and windfall profitsA city called Seoul is suffering from high concentrations of mercury in the air, caused by burningcoal in power plants. There are two of these plants close to the city. The city’s mayor wants touse cap-and-trade to reduce emissions to a reportedly “safe” level of 60 tons. The two firms havethe following marginal benefits of emissions: MB1 = 100 – 2e1, MB2 = 25 – 0.5e2.a. How much mercury will each firm emit? What allowance price will prevail in themarket?Firm 2 hires a smart lobbyist who convinces the government that its profits are relatively low andthat it therefore deserves a generous allowance allocation. The government agrees and allocatesa1 = 20 allowances to firm 1 (for free) and a2 = 40 allowances to firm 2 (for free).b. What are the firms’ profits? Do any of the firms earn windfall profits? [Hint: compareprofits with and without regulation.] Windfall profits have been sharply criticized by consumer advocacy groups and politicians.c. What can…
ASAP plz Why don't people/stores make different decisions? Cost is a factor: a case of foam take-out containers costs $25, compared with $58 for paper and recyclable-plastics. How does this affect the firm's profit? Are consumers willing to pay more? Negative externality Consider the demand and supply given above. Suppose there is an external cost given by MEC=5Q. Find social equilibrium price and quantity. Draw a graph and label both private and social equilibrium.
A monopoly faces an inverse demand curve, p(y) = 100 − 2y, and has constant marginal costs of 20. What is its profit-maximizing level of output and price? What is the socially optimal price and output for this firm? (Perfectly competitive solution) What is the deadweight loss due to the monopolistic behavior of this firm? d. Show your work algebraically and graphically.
a) If the only goal of a regulator of a natural monopoly firm that charges a uniform price is to ensure that the firm produces the socially optimal level of output, and the regulator has the authority to order the firm to do so, explain why this power could not be exercised when the viability of the firm is taken into account. b) Explain why a regulator, whose sole objective is to ensure that a monopoly firm produce the socially optimal output, would have no need to do anything if the firm were a perfectly discriminating monopoly. c) If the market demand curve is common knowledge for a natural monopoly firm and a regulator, but unlike the firm, the regulator has no information about the firm’s cost curves. Explain how a regulator could incentivize the firm to produce the socially optimal output, bearing in mind that the regulator does not even know which level of output is socially optimal?
