2. Profit maximization of a seller in a competitive price-searchermarket Consider De Virtuose Cupcake, a cupcake shop in a competitive price-searcher market. The following graph shows its demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve. Assume that the shop is operating in the short run. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph...
Consider the market for mountain bikes. The following graph shows the demand and supply for mountain bikes before the government imposes any taxes. First, use tfhe black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of mountain bikes in the absence of a tax. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer surplus...
. Profit maximization and loss minimizationBYOB is a monopolist in beer production and distribution in the imaginary economy of Hopsville. Suppose that BYOB cannot price discriminate; that is, it sells its beer at the same price per can to all customers. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and demand (D) for...
We were unable to transcribe this imageNow, assume that one of the hot dog stands successfully lobbies the city council to obtain the exclusive right to sell hot dogs within the city limits. This firm buys up all the rest of the hot dog stands in the city and operates as a monopoly. Assume that this change doesn't affect demand...
The following graph shows the supply of (orange curve) and demand for (blue curve) computer keyboards. Determine the equililbrium price and quantity of computer keyboards. Based on this, use the green triangle (triangl symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus at the equilibrium price. Then use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing producer surplus at...
5. Welfare effects of free trade in an exporting country Consider the New Zealand market for lemons. The following graph shows the domestic demand and domestic supply curves for lemons in New Zealand. Suppose New Zealand's government currently does not allow the international trade in lemons. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price of a ton of lemons and...

First, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium price and quantity of mountain bikes in the absence of a tax. Then use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing total consumer...
Action Systems is a monopolist that is the only seller of the world's most popular gaming system. The following graph shows the market demand and marginal revenue curves Action Systems faces, as well as its marginal cost curve, which is constant at $40 per console. For simplicity, assume that fixed costs are equal to zero; this, combined with the fact...
