Suppose two markets are identical except that in market A there is a monopoly seller who charges a single price, whereas in market B there is a monopoly seller who practices perfect price discrimination. In which market is the quantity traded higher? In which market is the total surplus higher? Briefly explain.
The three graphs below illustrate the market for electricity. The distribution of electricity is a natural monopoly; therefore, to take advantage of lower production costs, it is efficient to have only one firm in the market. Unfortunately, if a monopoly were allowed to provide electricity, it would charge a higher price and provide a smaller amount of electricity than would be desirable. In other words, the unregulated monopoly would charge the monopoly's profit-maximizing price. To avoid this, the government will allow a single firm to provide electricity, but the government will regulate the price. Let’s compare possible regulatory solutions.
Blue INK is the only cabel service provider in Gazipur. The diagram below depicts the price, output and costs incurred by Blue INK. Use the graph to answer the following questions:
1. What is the Total revenue generated by Blue INK at the profit maximizing level of output?
2. If the Cable Service Market turns into a Perfectly Competitive Market, what will be the total ammount of the service provided?
3. If the market turns into a Monopoly market again, what will be the total deadweight loss created?
