Draw the demand curve, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves from Figure 9.6, and identify the quantity of output the monopoly wishes to supply and the price it will charge. Suppose demand for the monopolys product increases dramatically. Draw the new demand me. What happens to the marginal revenue as a result of the increase in demand? What happens to the marginal cost curve? Identify the new profit-maximizing quantity and price. Does the answer make sense to you? Figure 9.6 Illustrating Profits at the HealthPill Monolpoly

Don't use pen or paper A monopoly firm faces the following average revenue (demand) curve: P = 360 − 0.04Q where Q denotes the output and P is the price, measured in dollars The firm’s cost function is given by C = 60Q + 5000. Assume that the firm maximizes profits. The marginal cost (MC) of production is $60. question: Can you calculate the deadweight loss (i.e., the efficiency loss) generated in this monopoly market?

Consider a natural monopoly with large fixed costs and a constant marginal cost of production, such as supplying water to household. Which condition can be used to regulate such a natural monopoly to ensure that the firm continues to operate while maximizing consumer surplus? Question 23Answer a. Demand = Average Cost b. Demand = Marginal Cost c. Marginal Cost = Marginal Revenue d. Price = Marginal Cost e. Price = Marginal Revenue
