Explain verbally and graphically how price rate regulation may Explain verbally and graphically
how price (rate) regulation may improve the performance of monopolies. In your answer
distinguish between (a) Socially optimal (marginal-cost) pricing (b) Fair-return (average-total-
cost) pricing. What is the “dilemma of regulation”? Explain verbally and graphically how price
rate […]
Assume that a pure monopolist and a purely competitive firm Assume that a pure monopolist
and a purely competitive firm have the same unit costs. Contrast the two with respect to (a)
Price, (b) Output, (c) Profits, (d) Allocation of resources, (e) Impact on the distribution of income.

Suppose a pure monopolist is faced with the demand schedule Suppose a pure monopolist is
faced with the demand schedule shown below and the same cost data as the competitive
producer discussed in question 4 at the end of Chapter. Calculate the missing total-revenue and
marginal-revenue amounts, and determine the […]
How does the demand curve faced by a purely monopolistic How does the demand curve faced
by a purely monopolistic seller differ from that confronting a purely competitive firm? Why does it
differ? Of what significance is the difference? Why is the pure monopolist’s demand curve not
perfectly inelastic? How […]
No firm is completely sheltered from rivals all firms compete No firm is completely sheltered
