Reference no: EM13184104

The total cost of production for your firm is 5000 + 200Q, where Q is your level of output.

(a) For what levels of output does your firm have economies of scale? Is this a case for natural monopoly? Why

(b) Now assume you are a monopolist, and the demand for your product is P=2000-5Q. What price will you charge? How much deadweight loss will your firm created?

(c) Now assume your firm is subject to regulation, where price is set equal to average cost. Now what will your price be? How much deadweight loss will your firm created?

(d) After the election, you decide your firm is not making enough money. So you hire the lobbying firm C&E. C&E are able to convince regulators that you should set your price equal to 110 percent of your (average) costs. Now what is the price and deadweight loss?
