The marginal revenue curve of a monopoly crosses its marginal cost curve at $30 per unit and an output of 2 million units. The price that consumers are willing to pay for this output is $50 per unit. If it produces this output, the firm's average total cost is $43 per unit. See pages 542-547. d. How much is total cost? e. What are the firm's economic profits (or economic losses)?

Consider the local telephone company, a natural monopoly. The following graph shows the demand curve for phone services, the company's marginal revenue curve (labeled MR), its marginal cost curve (labeled MC), and its average total cost curve (labeled ATC).

Problem 3: Natural Monopoly Regulation. A natural monopolist faces a demand curve P = 100-Q. The monopolist a constant marginal cost MC = 20 and an average cost AC = 20 + 800 a) In an unregulated market, what price will the monopolist charge? What is the DWL associated with this allocation? b) Suppose that a regulator imposes marginal cost regulation by setting P = 20. How many units will the monopoly sell? What is the DWL associated with this...

2. Consider a different case. Suppose that the current marginal cost per unit of a vaccine equals $100. Suppose further that the producer of the vaccine holds a patent on it; and as a result, charges consumers of the vaccine a monopoly price that is 25% above the marginal cost of production. Now suppose that publicly-funded drug research is undertaken which lowers the marginal cost per unit of vaccine from $100 to $60. Assume that producers respond by charging a...
