1) A monopolist firm sells its output in two regions: Califomia and Florida. The demand curves for each market are QF15-PF OF and Qc are measured in 1000s of units, so you may get decimal values for Q. If P-$10 and Q-1, the profit of S10 that you calculate is actually $10,000).

QUESTION 1 Which of the following statements is correct? To increase its profit, the firm always increases its price. Having chosen its profit-maximizing price p*, the firm would then set its nominal wage level. The slope of the demand curve is the firm’s marginal rate of substitution. The firm first sets its profit-maximizing price p*, then the number of employees. QUESTION 2 Which of the following statements is correct? In equilibrium, the wage clears the labour market, so there is...
