Consider a firm called Health-R-Us that is a monopoly. How does Health-RUs decide the price to charge and quantity to sell of the good it has a monopoly on? Illustrate your answer using a fully labelled and explained market diagram. Assume Health-R-Us is making monopoly profits and illustrate these on the same diagram. In addition, indicate the area on your diagram that illustrates the efficiency cost (the dead weight loss) of the monopoly, and explain why this dead weight loss arises

In case of a monopoly firm the priceing strategy is differenct from that f the competitive market. Price is determined at a point where MR= MC.
Diagramatically the monopoly market can be shown as:
The MR is equal to the MC in the monopoly market at the point B. The corresponding price of the market becomes Pm and the quantity is Q. The competitive price is Pc. The deadweignt loss in the monopoly market is the area ABC. This deadweight loss arises in the market as under monopoly the monopolist charge a higher price that it would have under a comepetitive market.

a) Draw a demand and supply model to illustrate the effects of a government subsidy paid to milk farmers for every litre of milk they sell. (Chapter 6 of the text can help you with this). Assume that demand for milk is relatively inelastic, while the supply of milk is relatively elastic. Illustrate and explain what happens to the price farmers receive, the price buyers pay, the cost to government and the quantity of milk sold. (Do not use actual...

Consider a small country that imports good Z. Some of the total quantity of Z domestically consumed is supplied by domestic producers and the rest of it is imported. Then suppose that the government imposed a tariff on each unit of Z that is imported, so that the quantity of Z imported is somewhat reduced. Draw a demand and supply diagram that shows the effect of the tariff. On your diagram clearly label the quantity of imports before the tariff...

The Australian Blueberry Growers’ Association recently reported findings that blueberry flowers provide a good source of nectar to the beekeepers to help produce more honey. (a) Using an appropriate diagram, show the perfectly competitive equilibrium in the Australian blueberry market. Also show the quantity of blueberries that would maximise social surplus. Is this equal to the market equilibrium quantity? Fully explain your answer. [4 marks] (b) Why would deadweight loss occur in this market? Identify the area for deadweight loss...

Consider an (inverse) demand curve P = 30 - Q. And a total cost curve of C(Q) = 12Q. (a) Assume a monopolist is operating in this market. (i) Calculate the quantity (qM) chosen by a profit-maximizing monopolist. (ii) At the profit-maximizing quantity, what is the monopolistic market price (pM) of the product. (iii) Calculate the dead-weight loss (allocative inefficiency) associated with this monopoly market. Assume the market for this product is perfectly competitive. (i) Calculate the market-clearing output (qPC)...
