i) A profit-maximising firm faces a downward-sloping demand curve for its output and has marginal costs that increase with output. Show, on a single diagram, how its profit maximisation decision can be represented both in terms of a feasible set optimisation and its marginal revenue and marginal cost. Why is there a deadweight loss in this case? (5) ii) Now assume the firm is a typical firm in a perfectly competitive market. Show the firm's optimal choice alongside the...

1) A monopolist firm sells its output in two regions: Califomia and Florida. The demand curves for each market are QF15-PF OF and Qc are measured in 1000s of units, so you may get decimal values for Q. If P-$10 and Q-1, the profit of S10 that you calculate is actually $10,000). Qc 12.5 - 2 Pc The monopoly's cost function is C 5+3Q5+3(QF+Qc) First, we'll assume that the monopoly can only charge one price in both markets. a) Calculate...

Place the black point (plus symbol) on the following graph to indicate the profit- maximising price and quantity of a monopolist. 5. Monopoly outcome versus competition outcome Consider the daily market for hot dogs in a small city. Imagine that this market is in long-run competitive equilibrium with many hot dog stands in the city, each one selling the same kind of hot dogs. Therefore, each vendor is a price taker and possesses no market power Monopaly Outcome The following...

6. There are two firms in a market with marginal cost functions given by MC:(9) = 59 MC2(q) = q. Market demand is given by D(p) = 20 - 2p. (a) Obtain the competitive equilibrium output and price. Calculate consumer surplus and each firm's producer surplus. (b) Derive the monopoly price when only firm 1 operates. Calculate consumer surplus and each firm's producer surplus. (c) Derive the monopoly price when only firm 2 operates. (d) Now assume that a monopolist...

Consider a single-price monopolist (i.e. the monopolist cannot price discriminate) facing the following market demand curve: P = 120 − Q. The monopolist has constant marginal cost of $20 and zero fixed cost. (a) Determine the monopolist’s profit maximizing quantity, denoted QM, and profit maximizing price, denoted PM. (b) Determine the quantity and price that would result in the market if this instead were a competitive market, denoted QC and PC, respectively. (c) Draw a picture of the market demand...
