Demand D slopes down but remains above the MR. ATC is a falling curve when MC is falling. Here MC is a flat line so AC is above MC but it is also falling
b) Dustin wants to sell the maximum units at no loss. This will result in a price that equals ATC. Hence Qdustin is determined where P = ATC results in a price Pdustin
c) Lucas wants to maximize revenue which means marginal revenue is 0. This is shown by the quantity Qlucas and Price Plucas
d) Eleven wants to maximize profits which occurs when MR = MC. This is shown below

Larry, Curly, and Moe run the only saloon in town. • Larry wants to sell as many drinks as possible without losing money. • Curly wants the saloon to bring in as much revenue as possible. • Moe wants to make the largest possible profit. Use the black point (plus symbol) to show the price and quantity combination favored by Larry. Then use the grey point (star symbol) to show the price and quantity combination favored by Curly. Finally use...

Price/Cost ($) 7) Monopoly II (6 points) The marginal costs (MC), average variable costs (AVC), and average total costs (ATC) for a monopoly are shown in the figure below. The figure also shows the demand curve (D) and the marginal revenue curve (MR) for this market. 501 ATC AVC a. What is the firm's profit-maximizing level of output? Label this on the graph. b. What price will the monopolist charge for that level of output? Label this on the graph....
The graph below shows a monopolist's demand (D), marginal
revenue (MR), marginal cost (MC), and average total cost (ATC)
curves. Management wants to adjust the production output quantity
to maximize the firm's profits. What quantity should the firm aim
for?
Give your answer by dragging the Q line to a new position to mark
the quantity at which profit is as large as possible.
Price and cost ATC MC MR Quantity
Please graph clearly with labels!!! Thank
you!
Tennessee Subway Corporation is a natural monopoly. The graph shows the market demand curve and the firm's marginal cost curve. The monopoly is unregulated and maximizes profit. Price and cost (dollars per month) Draw the firm's marginal revenue curve. Label it MR. Draw a point at the profit-maximizing price and quantity. Label it 1 The monopoly makes a positive economic profit. Draw the firm's average total cost curve. Label it ATC. Draw a...
9. Regulating a natural monopoly Consider the local cable company, a natural monopoly. The following graph shows the monthly demand curve for cable services and the company's marginal revenue (MR), marginal cost (MC), and average total cost (ATC) curves. Suppose that the government has decided not to regulate this industry, and the firm is free to maximize profits, without constraints. Complete the first row of the following table. Suppose that the government forces the monopolist to set the price equal to marginal cost. Complete...
The graph on the right shows the demand, marginal revenue, marginal cost, and average total cost curves for a monopolist. Show the impact if this firm was regulated to charge the fair-returns price? On graph 2: 1.) Using the point drawing tool, place a point at the output and price combination that would result from regulation if the monopoly was required to charge the fair-returns price. 2.) Using the triangle drawing tool, indicate the deadweight loss that would result from...
3. The chart illustrates your local water comnany's natural monopoly. The diagram shows the demand curve for water, the company's marginal revenue curve. its marginal cost curve (marginal costs are constant), and its average total cost curve. The government wants to regulate the monopolist by imposing a price ceiling. (20 points) a. Label the curves -Demand (D) Marginal Revenue (MR) Marginal Cost (MC) and Average Total cost (ATC) b. If the government does not regulate this monopolist, which price will...
Draw the graph for a monopoly with demand, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves. Identify the profit-maximizing output level (Qm) and price (Pm). Suppose the monopolist sells Qm units of output at the regular price and then puts the product on sale at a lower price, Ps. Show the new price and quantity. Identify the consumer surplus of the additional sales. What happens to the firm’s profits? Does price discrimination lead to a more efficient or less efficient outcome? Why...
