(Figure: PPV) Look at the figure PPV, which shows the demand and marginal revenue for a pay-per-view football game on cable TV. Assume that the marginal cost and average cost are a constant $30. If the cable company is a monopolist, how many subscriptions there will be?
around 3.8

- At NEW YORK Terminal there is a car park for buses that receive arriving passengers. The car park is so small that many buses cannot pass at the same time. Therefore, the government decided to grant a certain number of bus companies a license to operate their buses in the car park and thus they have one license to run between the airport and Downtown NYC with passengers. Such permits have now been allocated and not everyone got what they wanted. a) Show in the pictures what effect this barrier of entry has on consumer benefits and producer benefits for business benefits and how these restrictions affect market prices. Show on a picture. It is assumed that the marginal costs of the companies are traditional, increasing and the average cost is U-shaped. Show the companies' profits in a picture. b) The bus companies that did not receive a permit for the car park are very dissatisfied and in response to this, the government has decided that the permits can be sold by the parties who…arrow_forwardAt NEW YORK Terminal there is a car park for buses that receive arriving passengers.

- A private school has demand for enrolling students at Q=100- 10P, where price is tuition and Q is student enrollment (for a year). Marginal cost to enroll a student is MC = 10. It effectively acts like a monopoly in setting its tuition price and quantity. The school has a pricing scheme where they set a price for tuition (P) plus a flat enrollment/registration fee. What is the profit maximizing Q, price for tuition (P), and the enrollment/registration fee? Use a graph to explain your work and show your math answers.arrow_forwardIn this question, you will discuss the general case of positive externalities in a monopolist’s presence. what is the impact of a monopolist’s presence on a market without positive externalities?

Could a monopolist improve the competitive market outcome for a good or a service with positive externalities (and no government intervention to correct it)? Why or why not?

- What is a barrier to entry? Give some examples.arrow_forwardThe accompanying diagram depicts a monopolist whose price is regulated at $10 per unit. Use this figure to answer the questions that follow. a. What price will an unregulated monopoly charge? b. What quantity will an unregulated monopoly produce? c. How many units will a monopoly produce when the regulated price is $10 per unit? d. Determine the quantity demanded and the amount produced at the regulated price of $10 per unit. Is there a shortage or a surplus? e. Determine the deadweight loss to society (if any) when the regulated price is $10 per unit. f. Determine the regulated price that maximizes social welfare. Is there a shortage or a surplus at this price?arrow_forwardSuppose we have 5 people who might attend up to 2 theatre shows at the local theatre. There’s a drama and a comedy. The marginal cost of a seat on any given night is both constant and negligible (you can safely ignore it), so profit maximization and revenue maximization amount to the same thing. Below are the maximum willingness to pay values (a person will pay a price up to that value, but no greater) for a seat for each of the 5 people for the two shows. The theatre is a profit-maximizing firm. What individual ticket price (i.e., the price for anybody attending the show would be the same, but it could be different across shows) would separately maximize profit for each show?arrow_forward

Explain why Netflix is able to profitably release movies for free at home instead of releasing in theaters first for higher a price before releasing at home. Why doesn't this model work for all movie production companies? B. Recently more firms have adopted the Netflix model. For example, Warner Brothers announced they would release all movies on HBO Max at home at the same time they are released in theaters in 2021. Who benefits from this change? Who is made worse off from this change? Do you think society is better or worse off from this change?arrow_forward
