- how monopolists in the Philippines are being regulated by the government.arrow_forwardI will rate and like, thank you! Easy economics question. Create graph that includes: Demand curve, marginal cost, and marginal revenue. Identify the profit-maximizing quantity and price for this monopolist. To do this you will need to determine marginal revenue at each level of output. Choose output that satisfies the monopolist’s profit maximizing condition of MR = MC. Does this firm earn a profit? How much profit if they do?arrow_forwardGive typing answer with explanation and conclusion A monopolist has a demand curve given by P = 88 − Q and a total cost curve given by TC = 34 + Q2. The associated marginal cost curve is MC = 2Q. Suppose the monopolist also has access to a foreign market in which he can sell whatever quantity he chooses at a constant price of 60. How much will he sell in the foreign market? What will his new quantity and price be in the original market?arrow_forward
- Suppose regulators are deciding how the local electric company is allowed to set prices. Demand for electricity is given by P = 40-Q, where Q is millions of megawatt hours demanded annually. The electric company is allowed to operate as a monopoly. The marginal cost of the company is $2, while the fixed cost is $150 million annually. (a) If the price of the electric company was not regulated, what price would it set? What would be its profits and the deadweight loss? (b) Knowing the fixed cost, demand curve, and marginal cost of the utility, the regulator decides to set a linear price that allows the electric utility to break even. What is this price? What would be the deadweight loss? (c) Suppose that demand for electricity varies over the course of the day and is most inelastic in the middle of the day. Illustrate how the regulator could use this information to improve on the outcome in (b)?

- A monopoly sells good in the United States, where the elasticity of demand is -2, and in Japan, where the elasticity of demand is -5. Its marginal cost is $10. At what price does the monopoly sell its good in each country if resale is impossible?arrow_forwardA monopolist sells boat insurance policies linked to their registrations in two states, and resales between the two states is not allowed, as the registrations are in line with the rules set in each state. The demand curves for car insurance policies in the two states are: P1 = 200 – Q1 P2 = 150 – Q2 The monopoly's marginal cost is $50. a. Find the equilibrium quantity and price charged in each state. b. How would change the outcome if the monopolist’s marginal cost increases from $50 to $70 only in the first state for the company being able to discriminate prices between states? c.
