5. Assume a market demand curve of D(P) = 60−2P and a fringe supply curve of S(P) = P − 5. Assume a cost curve for the incumbent of C(Q) = 10 + 4Q. Find the market outcome in terms of price and quantity both for a monopolist not facing a fringe and a large dominant firm facing a fringe. Be sure to both solve for and graph the dominant firm’s demand and marginal revenue curves [in both the regions where they differ from the whole market’s curves and the regions where they coincide with the whole market’s curves].

The market demand curve is given by Q = 200-2p. There is one dominant firm, which sets the market price and has a constant marginal cost of 5, and a competitive fringe of 10 price-taking firms, each of which has a marginal cost function MC (Q) = 10 +Q. Derive the equation of the dominant firm’s residual demand curve. What price will the dominant firm set to maximize its profits? At this price, how much does the competitive fringe produce?

In a monopolistic competitive market for blood pressure monitor, suppose the market demand function for the monitor is P=160 – 3Q, where P is the price for monitor, Q and the quantity of monitor demanded. Marginal cost of producing it is MC: P = 20 + Q, where P is the price of the monitor and Q is the quantity of the monitor sold. Use the Twice as Steep Rule, form the marginal revenue function. What are the price and...

Market demand curve is D(P)=400-5P.
The oil drilling industry consists of 60 producers, all of whom have an identical short- run total cost curve, STC(Q) = 64 + 2Q2, where Q is the monthly output of a firm and $64 is the monthly fixed cost. The corresponding short-run marginal cost curve is SMC(Q) 4Q. Assume that $32 of the firm's monthly $64 fixed cost can be avoided if the firm produces zero output...

We are given an inverse market demand curve: P = 300 – 0.00006Q and the total cost of production. Assume that the total cost of production is the same for the entire market and the monopolist TC = 11,000,000 + 0.0006Q Explain how the market outcomes of perfect competition and monopoly differ for the given market. Use both mathematical and graphical method. Point out consumer and producer surplus, and total welfare.

5. Monopoly outcome versus competition outcome Consider the daily market for hot dogs in a small city. Suppose that this market is in long-run competitive equilibrium with many hot dog stands in the city, each one selling the same kind of hot dogs.
