6. The following graph shows the demand, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves for a single-price monopolist that produces a drug that helps relieve arthritis pain. Place the grey point (star symbol) in the appropriate location on the graph to indicate the monopoly outcome such that the dashed lines reveal theprofit-maximizing price and quantity of a single-price monopolist.

ASAP PLZ Suppose a monopolist knows it has two types of customers. The inverse demand for the customers in the first market is P = 50 – Q while the inverse demand for the customers in the second market is P = 40 – 2Q. The marginal cost is €10 in both markets. Suppose the firm wishes to charge a two-part tariff to its customers but it cannot distinguish between the customers in the first and second markets. Calculate the entry (fixed) fee that the firm should charge in these circumstances

The following graph shows the demand (D) for cable services in the imaginary town of Utilityburg. The graph also shows the marginal revenue (MR) curve, the marginal cost (MC) curve, and the average total cost (ATC) curve for the local cable company, a natural monopolist. On the following graph, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for this natural monopolist.

Global Gas & Electric, a monopoly operating in the northwest Philippines, is represented in the table below. Global’s executives would not provide you any more information than what's in this table, so you'll have to fill in the blanks. Fill in the table and use it to answer the following question. (The output is measured in thousands of kilowatt hours of electricity.) Assume that if electricity is supplied by competitive firms, the market price is 55 andthe quantity supplied is 8 (‘000 KWHs)? What is the amount of the deadweight lossto society of producing electricity by monopolist Global Gas and Electric? (It is helpful to have a graphical illustration based on the data above so you couldcalculate easily the DWL. )
