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
Using the MR = MC rule, what is the profit-maximizing level of output (in thousands of KWHs)? What price will Putrid charge for the profit-maximizing level of output? Assume that if electricity is supplied by competitive firms, the market price is 55 and the quantity supplied is 8 (‘000 KWHs)? What is the amount of the deadweight loss to society of producing electricity by monopolist Global Gas and Electric? Determine and compare the amount of consumer surplus and producer surplus if the service is provided by competitive firms and by the monopolist.
a) What are the output and price where the firm’s profit is maximum? What is the firm’s economic profit? Show solution. b) Determine the deadweight loss for this market. What is the source of the deadweight loss in a monopoly? c) If government regulators where to ask the firm to charge a price and quantity that would be socially (or allocatively) efficient, what would these price and quantity be? At this output and price, what would happen to the consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus compared to the situation under monopoly.
Suppose that only one firm, Big Foot, sells footballs in the country and international trade of footballs including both exporting and importing is prohibited by government due to Big Foot’s successful lobby. The following equations indicates Big Foot’s market demand and total cost:• Demand: P = 5-0.5Q• Total Cost: TC = 1.5 + 0.5Q + 0.25 Q2where Q is quantity (in 1000) and P is the price measured in dollars. (i) Determine how many footballs Big Foot chooses to produce, the price it will set for its product and its expected profit. Illustrate your analysis with a propermarket diagram.(ii) Evaluate the size of deadweight loss cause by monopoly status of Big Foot. Suppose that the parliament passed a new law that not only allows everyone to sell footballs but also opens international trade of footballs. Suppose further that the market demand in the country remains the same while the price of football in the competitive global market is $3 including shipping and importation fee. Analyse…
Demand Supply (table 4-14)P = 60 - 2QD P = 15 + QSQD = 30 - 0.5P QS = P - 1521. Refer to Table 4-14. The equations above describe the demand and supply for Pauline'sPickled Pomegranates. The equilibrium price and quantity for Pauline's PickledPomegranates are $30 and 15 thousand units. What is the value of consumer surplus?A) $225 thousand B) $50 thousandC) 112.5 thousand D) 337.5 thousand
TNBest is the only electricity company in a suburban area. Suppose that thedemand for electricity for this area is ? = 500 − 10? and the cost of producing electricity is ?? = 500 + 2?. (i) If the city council want to make sure that there is no deadweight loss in this market, what price will they force TNBest to charge? What will output be in that case? Calculate consumer surplus and TNBest’s profit with that price.

There is a market with monopoly conditions with Q= 100-P (demand) and MC-AC-20. The monopoly price and quantity levels are Pm= 60 and Qm-40, meanwhile the equilibrium of competition is Pe=20 and Qe=80. Calculate: a. Draw the condition curve and show the CS, PS and regions DWL? b. Value of Consumer Surplus (CS) and Producen Surplus (PS) at the time of competition? c. Value of Consumer Surplus (CS), Producen Surplus (PS) and Deadweight Loss (DWL) at the time of monopoly?
(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,
