3. The zoning rule is revoked, and the monopolist in problem 2 can no longer exclude others from using the same technology and producing boxes, so the market structure changes from monopoly to perfect competition. (That is, assume that all firms are price-takers and that they produce at minimum average cost in equilibrium.) (a) What will the market price and quantity be? (b) Calculate consumer's surplus under this market structure (c) Calculate aggregate producer profits and producer's surplus. (d) Comparing...

The industry price elasticity of demand for good X is −1.5. The price elasticity of demand for the output of an individual firm producing good X in this industry −9. From this we can conclude that: individual firms have significant market power. the HHI for this industry is 1,667. this industry is highly concentrated. None of the options. individual firms have little market power.

Suppose that the local hardware store has a monopoly on screwdrivers. The market demand is given by P = 33 – 0.25Q and the marginal revenue is MR = 33 – 0.5Q. The marginal cost of selling screwdrivers is MC = 1 + 1.5Q. What is the profit-maximizing price the monopolist should charge for the screwdrivers and how many will they sell? Price: $ Quantity: screwdrivers
