How is the perceived demand curve for a monopolistically competitive film different from the perceived demand curve for a monopoly or a perfectly competitive film?
Return to Figure 9.2. Suppose P0 is 10 and P1 is 11. Suppose a new firm with the same LRAC curve as the incumbent tries to bleak into the market by selling 4,000 units of output. Estimate from the graph what the new firms average cost of producing output would be. If the incumbent continues. to produce 6,000 units, how much output would the two films supply to the market? Estimate what would happen to the market price as a result of the supply of both the incumbent firm and the new entrant. Approximately how much profit would each firm earn?

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?
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
How can a monopolist identify the profit-maximizing level of output if it knows its total revenue and total cost curves?
COURSE: MICROECONOMICS - PERFECT COMPETITION AND MONOPOLY (RESUBMITION QUESTION) We appreciate a perfect competition market where there is a predetermined limit number of firms with 20 total firms.Each has the cost function such that: CTi = qi2 + 4qi + 3 where qi indicates numbers of firms (i = 20) The demand in the market is: Q = 100 - 4pa) What is the individual supply of each firm?b) What is the supply of the whole industry?c) Obtain the market equilibriumIn the case where a new firm intended to enter a monopolist's market:(a) What kind of legitimate entry barriers can the firm face understanding the nature of the market it wishes to enter?b) What type of anticompetitive barriers could the firm already in the market present?
A drug company introduces a drug which is protected by a patent. Therefore,it is a monopoly in that specific market. Suppose that inverse demand for the drug isgiven by P(y) = 100 − y/2. And cost function is C(y) = y2 + 10y + 100.a. What is the profit maximizing output and price?b. Calculate the profit, consumer’s surplus, producer’s surplus and thedeadweight loss.Suppose that the patent expires and the market becomes perfectly competitive.c. Find the profit maximizing output and price. And compare your answer with(a).d. Calculate the profit, consumer’s surplus, producer’s surplus and thedeadweight loss. And compare your answer with (b).
One of these four answers best represents the condition that generates a natural monopoly. Which one? OA single firm controls an industry because there are very few customers in the industry. The government prohibits entry into an industry. O The firm takes anti-competitive actions to keep other firms out. O Economies of scale are large relative to quantity demanded in a market
Please no written by hand solutions 1. Assume the cost function for a monopolist is given by TC(q) = 30Q; the inverse demand function for the firms' output is p = 120 - Q, where Q is the total output. a. Find the profit-maximizing combination of price and quantity b. Estimate consumer surplus, producer surplus and the deadweight loss associated with this monopolist C. If this industry became perfectly competitive, explain and estimate the consumer surplus, producer surplus and deadweight loss of the industry d. Graph your answers for a, b, and c 2. Now assume that the monopolist above splits into two. Each of two firms has the cost function TC(q) = 30q. a. What are the firms' outputs in a Nash equilibrium of Cournot's model? b. Estimate the economic profits for each firm c. If firm 1 is the leader and firm 2 the follower, find the equilibrium outputs for the Stackelberg solution.
Suppose a monopoly market has a demand function in whichquantity demanded depends not only on market price (P) butalso on the amount of advertising the firm does (A, measuredin dollars). The specific form of this function isQ =(20 - P2) (1 + 0.1A - 0.01A2).The monopolistic firm’s cost function is given byC = 10Q + 15 + A.a. Suppose there is no advertising (A = 0). What outputwill the profit-maximizing firm choose? What market price will this yield? What will be the monopoly’sprofits?b. Now let the firm also choose its optimal level of advertising expenditure. In this situation, what output levelwill be chosen? What price will this yield? What will thelevel of advertising be? What are the firm’s profits in thiscase? Hint: This can be worked out most easily by assuming the monopoly chooses the profit-maximizing pricerather than quantity.
Assume that the demand for electric cars is p = 100-q (where q is the quantity and p is the price), and that an innovation can reduce the constant marginal cost of production from 70 to 60. What is the definition of nondrastic/drastic innovation? Confirm that the innovation for electric cars is nondrastic. Show that marginalcost would have to be reduced to less than 40 for theinnovation to bedrastic. Suppose that the industry is a monopoly (not threatened by entry). Howmuch is this firm willing to pay to acquire the innovation?
