5. A monopolist faces a downward-sloping demand curve
Ans: D
6. A monopoly could make positive profits in the long run by controlling the market prices through changes in the production(output or quantity supplied)
Ans: A
7. Governments grant patents in order to encourage research and development and thereby increase the efficiency of the economy as a whole. Patent rights confer certain exclusive economic rights to the innovator for a certain period in order for him/her to benefit from the innovation and also recover the cost incurred in research and development
Ans: A
8. When the output = 0, the total cost = $1,000
Therefore, Fixed cost = Total cost at zero output = $1,000
Ans: C

A monopolist faces a demand curve P = 210 - 3Q and faces a constant marginal cost MC = 15.
A monopolist faces a demand curve P = 210 - 3Q and faces a constant marginal cost MC = 15. a) Calculate the profit-maximizing monopoly quantity and compute the monopolist's total revenue at the optimal price. d) Suppose that this monopoly opens for competition and the market becomes perfectly competitive. The firms face constant marginal cost MC = 15. Find the long-run perfectly competitive industry price and quantity.

5. A monopolist faces a demand curve P = 60 – 2Q and initially faces a constant marginal cost MC = 4. (a) Calculate the profit-maximizing monopoly quantity and price, and compute the monopolist's total rev- enue and profits at the optimal price. (b) Suppose that the monopolist's marginal cost in- creases to MC = 8. Verify that the monopolist's total revenue goes down. (c) Suppose that all firms in a perfectly competitive equilibrium had a constant marginal cost MC...

1. Answer the following questions:
a. Why is the demand curve for a monopolist downward-sloping,
while the demand curve for the perfectly competitive firm is
horizontal?
b. Suppose a perfectly competitive industry is suddenly
transformed to a monopoly industry. What will happen to price,
output, consumer and producer surplus, and deadweight loss?

we learned that the long-run supply curve is perfectly elastic, or horizontal. We also learned, however, that in the short run, when the demand for a product increases, individual firms increase their production (or, quantity supplied) in response to a higher market price. What occurs in the transition from theso-called "short run" to the "long run" that leads the long-run supply curve to be perfectly elastic?

QUESTION 9 The perfectly competitive firm faces a downward sloping demand curve. constant marginal costs. a horizontal supply function. perfectly elastic demand. QUESTION 10 The short-run industry supply curve slopes up because the law of diminishing marginal product applies in the short run. wages increase as the industry increases output. the firms eventually experience diseconomies of scale. the higher price is needed to get more firms to enter the industry.
