Suppose that a perfectly competitive industry becomes a monopoly. Describe the effects of this change on consumer surplus, producer surplus and price.
Homework Answers
As the perfectly competitive industry becomes a monopoly, there is a decrease in suppliers from many to one. the demand curve that was horizontal is now downward sloping. Thus, the profit maximization quantity for a seller is such that MR = MC. At this point, the quantity is lower than the perfectly competitive output and the price is higher. As a result the consumer surplus decreases and the producer surplus increases.

Consider an industry with a linear inverse demand, p = 300 – 2Q, and MC = AC = $60. Solve for industry output (Q), price (p), and profits if the industry is: 1. Perfectly competitive 2. Monopolistic 3. Show graphically (on the next page) the deadweight loss associated with monopoly when costs are constant as in this case. Point out differences in consumer surplus and producer surplus (if any) between the perfectly competitive and monopoly outcomes.
