Suppose that a monopolist’s demand curve is given by P(y) = 28−3y and its marginal cost is given by MC(y) = y, where y denotes output. a. Find the profit-maximizing quantity and price for this monopolist. Illustrate your answer with a graph. b. Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus and the deadweight loss of this monopoly. (You may find it helpful to refer to the graph you drew for part a.) c.  Carefully explain why a monopoly creates a deadweight loss.
