a. Draw a graph for a monopoly, labeling all curves. Label the monopolist’s profit-maximizing quantity and price Q1 and P1. (Hint: Draw the graph fairly big so that you can answer part b more easily). Now the government regulates the monopoly by putting a price ceiling on the good. Choose a level for the price ceiling (call it P2) and on your graph show what quantity the monopolist will produce (label it Q2). What will happen in the market?

7. A profit maximizing firm in a competitive market produces replica toy cars. Suppose the market price for replica toy cars decreases to $12. At the profit maximizing (loss minimizing) quantity of 20,000 toy cars, the ATC is equal to $15 and the AFC is equal to $5. Given these conditions the (x) firm will experience losses of $60,000 since price is less than average total cost. (y) the firm will continue to produce 20,000 toy cars since it would...
