Do you think it is possible for government to outlaw everything that businesses could do wrong? If so, why does government not do that? If not, how can regulation stay ahead of rogue businesses that push the limits of the system until it breaks?
a. Marginal Cost (MC) and Marginal Revenue (MR)? b. The point of equilibrium (price and quantity) at the time of competition? c. The point of equilibrium (price and quantity) at the time of monopoly? d. Draw the condition curve and show the CS, PS and DWL regions? e. Value of Consumer Surplus (CS) and Producen Surplus (PS) at the time of competition? f. Nilai Consumer Surplus (CS), Producen Surplus (PS) dan Deadweight Loss (DWL) at the time of monopoly?
Are the following questions true or false? (A). A profit‐maximizing monopolist will produce output where marginal cost is equal to price(B). Suppose we know that a monopolist is maximizing profits. The monopolist has maximizedthe difference between marginal revenue and marginal cost.(C) In perfect competition, MUX = PX is the condition that ensures that firms produce the rightthings.(D). A monopoly earns total revenue of $5000 when it sells 500 units of output and totalrevenue of $5400 when it sells 600 units of output. Thus, the marginal revenue of the600th unit is $9.(E). We call a market where there is only one buyer for a good or service a monopoly.(F). There are a few firms selling differentiated products in a monopolistically competitiveindustry.(G). When a demand curve is a downward sloping straight line, the slope of the marginalrevenue curve is twice as steep as the demand curve.(H). The monopolistʹs profit-maximizing price will be above marginal cost, because at the…
d. Draw the condition curve and show the CS, PS and DWL regions? e. Value of Consumer Surplus (CS) and Producen Surplus (PS) at the time of competition? f. Nilai Consumer Surplus (CS), Producen Surplus (PS) dan Deadweight Loss (DWL) at the time of monopoly?
tue or false? after an industry is regulated by federal regulatory agency, companies in the industry can maintain their long run vaibility by continuing to focus on making better products or services.
d) If a price ceiling of $17.50 is imposed by the government on the monopolist, estimate (based on the graph) the quantity that the monopolist will produce. In this case, does the price ceiling in a monopoly improve economic efficiency or not? e) Supposed that instead of a regular monopoly, the graph above pertains to a natural monopoly, what change must be made to the graph to depict a natural monopoly?

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.
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.
