P, MR, AC, MC MC Demand * AC G MR H Quantity a) Identify the quantity of output the monopoly wishes to supply and the price it will charge. b) Suppose demand for the monopoly's product increases dramatically shifting it to the right. Using the new demand curve determine what happens to the marginal revenue as a result of the increase in demand? Assuming that the marginal cost curve stays the same. how will the new profit-maximizing quantity and price change?

How can a monopolist identify the profit-maximizing level of output if it knows its total revenue and total cost curves?
How does the quantity produced and price charged by a monopolist compare to that of a perfectly competitive film?
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?
Is a monopolistically competitive firm productively efficient? Is it allocatively efficient? Why or why not?
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 patented invention A popular but easily copied restaurant recipe An industry where economies of scale are very small compared to the size of demand in the market A well-established reputation for slashing prices in response to new entry A well-respected brand name that has been carefully built up over many years
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?
Ajax Cleaning Products is a medium-sized firm operating in an industry dominated by one large firmâ€”Tile King. Ajax produces a multiheaded tunnel wall scrubber that is similar to a model produced by Tile King. Ajax decides to charge the same price as Tile King to avoid the possibility of a price war. The pnce charged by Tile King is $20,000. Ajax has the following short-run cost curve: TC=800,0005,000Q+100Q2 Compute the marginal cost curve for Ajax. Given Ajaxs pricing strategy, what is the marginal venue function for Ajax? Compute the profit-maximizing level of output for Ajax. Compute Ajaxs total dollar profits.
