- You are the manager for a monopoly with costs, demand, and marginal revenue as in graph 1. Suppose economic conditions change in such a way that the demand curve for your company shifts left.i. Draw a demand curve on graph 2 that leads to zero economic profits.ii. Draw a demand curve graph 2 such that any further leftward demand shift will cause you to shutdown.arrow_forwardConsider a competitive industry with a market demand curve of P = 252 – Q, where P is market price and Q is the quantity demanded in the market. Each firm in the industry has a cost function of TC = 196 + q2, if q > 0 where q is output of the individual firm (TC = 0 if q = 0). The market is initially in long-run equilibrium. The government decides to regulate the industry by issuing licences to all firms currently in the industry, and not to allow any further entry by other firms without a licence. That is, the number of licences is fixed, and entry requires that an existing licence holder sells their licence to the potential entrant, leaving the number of firms producing in the industry fixed. Subsequent to the introduction of this regulation, the market demand curve shifts to P = 432 – Q. What is the value of the licence?arrow_forwardYou are the manager of a monopolistically competitive firm and your demand and cost functions are given by Q2 = 10 – (0.1) P2 and C=490 - 50Q + 2.5 Q2 Find the inverse demand function for your firm product Determine the profit maximizing price and level of production Calculate your firm’s surplus and maximum profitsarrow_forward
