- For a monopoly, marginal revenue is less than price because? the demand for the firm's output is perfectly elastic. the firm can sell all of its output at any price. the demand for the firm's output is downward sloping. the firm has no supply curve.arrow_forwardAn unregulated natural monopoly bottles Mt. McKinley air, unique clean air that has no substitutes. The monopoly's total fixed cost is $30,000 a year and its marginal cost is 10 cents a can. The graph illustrates the demand for Mt.

- The inverse demand curve a monopoly faces is p=120-2Q. The firm's cost curve is C(Q) = 40 +6Q. What is the profit-maximizing solution? The profit-maximizing quantity is 28.50. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) The profit-maximizing price is $63.00. (round your answer to two decimal places.) What is the firm's economic profit? The firm earns a profit of $ 1584.50. (round your answer to two decimal places.) How does your answer change if C(Q)= 100+6Q? The increase in fixed cost OA. has no effect on the equilibrium quantity, but the equilibrium price increases and profit decreases. B. causes the firm to increase both the price and quantity, and profit increases. OC. has no effect on the equilibrium quantity, but the equilibrium price increases and profit increases. D. has no effect on the equilibrium price and quantity, but profit will decrease.arrow_forwardWhat do you understand by discriminatory monopoly? Bring out the conditions that enables the monopoly firm to charge different prices for its product in different markets.arrow_forwardDraw 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 monopoly’s product increases dramatically. Draw the new demand curve. 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?arrow_forward
- Google search images and find the graphs for a monopoly and a regulated natural monopoly. The average fixed cost curve will never intersect with either the horizontal or vertical axis. There must be proper positioning of the Average Total Cost curve and Average Variable Cost curve. The Average Total Cost curve and Average Variable Cost curve must not touch (in between is average fixed costs – which can never be zero).arrow_forwardExplain how price discrimination increases profit.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true of both perfectly competitive AND monopoly markets? Firms have market power. Firms earn 0 economic profit in the long run. Marginal revenue is equal to price. Firms choose to produce a quantity at which marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue. There is no deadweight loss.arrow_forward
