Answer #1

Answer
if the firm is producing at a socially optimum level then it produces at MC=P
where
Q=140 units and P=10
====
if the firm produces at monopoly level then
it produces at MR=MC
where
Q=100 and P=13 from demand curve and MC=7
=====
Deadweight loss =0.5*(monopoly price -MC)*change in Q
=0.5*(13-7)*(140-100)
=120

the deadweight loss is $120
