Show this problem graphically by graphing The demand curve. MR, and MC, labeling everything relevant, including the equilibrium price and quantity. Show consumer and producer surplus. Extra credit parentheses one point H parentheses: also show the deadweight loss of monopoly and external in your demand curve down the X axis how much with the firm produce if it was owned by the government and trying to maximize economic efficiency make total surplus as big as possible

21. A music studio faces the following demand schedule when releasing the next Compact Disc by Bruno Mars. The studio must pay Mr. Mars $12 million to make the CD, and the marginal cost of printing the CD is always $3 per disc. P is price, in dollars; Q is quantity demanded, listed in millions of CDs. Calculate total revenue, marginal revenue, fixed cost, marginal cost, variable cost, total cost, and profit for each quantity listed (if a column is...

7) A for-profit firm is bidding on a contract that would make it the sole provider of trash and recycling pick-up services in a city. The city-wide demand for trash and recycling pick-up is given by Qp = 50,000 - 200P where is measured in tons of material picked up and P is the price per ton. That demand curve implies that the inverse demand (i.e., rewriting the demand equation with as a function of P) for trash and recycling...
