The monopoly business is described as a price maker. How does this differ from a perfectly competitive firm which is described as a price taker? Explain fully.
All markets that are not perfectly competitive have which of the following characteristics? Each firm's marginal revenue is always equal to the market price. The product that each firm sells has no close substitutes. Firms in the market have some control over price, that is, each firm faces a downward sloping demand curve. Firms will produce a level of output where marginal cost equals the minimum level of average cost.
please refer to image provided On the left hand side, the market consists of many perfectly competitive firms. On the right hand side, this market is dominated by a single monopoly firm. How much is the consumer surplus under perfect competition?
Conditions for price discrimination Price discrimination is the practice of selling the same good at more than one price when the price differences are not justified by cost differences. Evaluate the following statement: "Price discrimination is not possible when a good is sold in a perfectly competitive market." False, because perfectly competitive firms do not profit - maximize by setting marginal revenue equal to marginal cost True, because perfectly competitive firms have no market power False, because perfectly competitive firms have market power None of these choices Examples of price discrimination Cho and Ginny are debating the use of coupons by grocery stores. Cho says, "The use of coupons in grocery stores represents a means of price discrimination. It's pure and simple. Coupons do reduce the price of groceries, but mostly to people who are less likely to buy at the full price." By contrast, Ginny contends, "Coupons do not constitute price discrimination. They simply…
Comparing a perfectly competitive market to a monopoly, which of the following is true? Group of answer choices Price will be higher than marginal cost in the perfectly competitive market but will beequal to marginal cost in the monopoly. Price will be equal to marginal revenue in the perfectly competitive market but will behigher than marginal revenue in the monopoly. at that point on the market demand curve which intersects the marginal cost curve. Price will be higher and quantity will be lower in the perfectly competitive market than inthe monopoly.
The figure shows the market demand curve for penicillin, an antibiotic medicine. Initially, the market was supplied by perfectly competitive firms Later, the government granted the exclusive right to produce and sell penicillin to one firm. The figure also shows the marginal revenue curve (MR) of the firm once it begins to operate as a monopoly. The marginal cost is constant at $3, irrespective of the market structure What is the surplus enjoyed by the firm when it is the sole supplier of the medicine? OA. 590 OB. $180 OC. $30 OD. $60 Price/Cost (5) 10 1 10 20 30 40 MR Demand 50 60 70 80 90 Quantity (units)
A competitive market has demand of Q = 50 - 0.5P and total cost of production is C=70q for each firm. What is the effect of an innovation by one firm that gives a marginal cost of $28? a. This is a drastic innovation that causes the market quantity to be 18. b. This is a drastic innovation that causes the market quantity to be 36. c. This is a drastic innovation that causes the market quantity d. This is a non-drastic innovation that causes the market quantity to be 18.
Why are marginal revenue and price equal for competitive firms? Price equals marginal revenue because the demand curve is upward sloping. price must decrease as quantity increases. price is constant for all levels of output. price is the same as total revenue.
Suppose demand is Q = 10000 - 1000P and marginal cost is constant at MC=6. From the given demand curve, one can compute the following marginal revenue curve: MR = 10 - Q/500 a. Graph the demand, marginal cost, and marginal revenue curves. b. Calculate the price and quantity associated with point C, the perfectly competitive outcome. Compute industry profit, consumer surplus, and social welfare.
Which of the following statements are true about a competitive price-searcher market? Check all that apply. Price equals average total cost in the long run. Price is above marginal cost. Firms face high barriers to market entry. Firms are not price takers.
Alice is the monopoly producer for cosmetics in Wonderland. Market demand for cosmetics is given by p = 500 – 4Q and Alice's costs of production are C(q) = 169. Please calculate the monopoly price, quantity and profits. What would be the fair market price in perfect competition? Also calculate the welfare loss which occurs due to the monopoly.
The graph below is for a firm with market power. Place point A at the firm's output and price combination. Place point B at the firm's output and price combination if the government wanted to regulate it and set a price ceiling to restrain its market power and have it produce at the level of a perfectly competitive firm. Then answer the questions.
