Answer - MARKET OUTPUT WILL INCREASE
The profit maximizing condition for a monopolist will be MR=MC. Since the monopolist faces a downward sloping demand and MR curve, the price is always more than the MC indicating the market inefficiency.
If a monopolist converted into perfect competition market, then the equilibrium condition will be demand equals to supply. The downward sloping AR curve is the demand curve and the MC (above the minimum of AVC) will be taken as the Supply curve. The intersection of AR and MC curve will be taken as the equilibrium price and output. In case of perfect competition, the dead-weight loss will be zero, the profit will be less than monopolist. In case of perfect competition the output will be more and the price will be less in comparison to the monopoly market. Answer - Market output will increase.

The perfect price-discriminating monopolist in this diagram will
produce ____ units of output, and a single-price monopolist would
produce _____ units of output. Consumer surplus under a perfectly
price discriminating monopolist is _____ dollars than under a
single-price monopolist. While, perfect price discrimination
results in reduced consumer surplus, it (increases/decreases)
producer surplus and ultimately results in deadweight loss that is
(less than/greater than/equal to) the amount of deadweight loss
found in a perfectly competitive market.

Which of the following will most likely occur as the result of an unanticipated increase in aggregate demand? a. an increase in output and a move to a higher price level b. an increase in prices and a long-run increase in output c. an increase in long-run aggregate supply (LRAS shifts to the right) d. a decrease in the natural rate of unemployment

Assume that a single price monopolist has a marginal cost curve given by MC=10+2Q. Further the demand curve that it faces is given by p=250-Q. Compared to a perfectly competitive industry with the same demand and cost equations, the loss in consumer surplus in this market equals: O 1600. 1800. O 1200 O 1400

True False-Ambiguous and Explain why 6. Suppose that a single-price monopolist bought up all the firms in a competitive industry and was able to block new firms from entering. In this case, consumer surplus would fall, a deadweight loss would arise, and the firm would earn positive economic profits. Draw a graph.
