Why are urban areas willing to subsidize urban transit systems? Does the argument for subsidies make sense to you?
Draw a monopolists demand curve, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves. Identify the monopolists profit-maximizing output level. Now, think about a slightly higher level of output (sayQ0+1). According to the graph, is there any consumer willing to pay more than the marginal cost of that new level of output? If so, what does this mean?
Imagine that you ale managing a small firm and thinking about entering the market of a monopolist. The monopolist is currently charging a high price, and you have calculated that you can make a nice profit charging 10 less than the monopolist. Before you go ahead and challenge the monopolist, what possibility should you consider for how the monopolist might react?
How can a monopolist identify the profit-maximizing level of output if it knows its total revenue and total cost curves?
From the graph you drew to answer Exercise 11.6, would you say this transit system is a natural monopoly? Justify. Use the following information to answer the next three questions. In the years before wireless phones, when telephone technology requited having a wile matting to every home, it seemed plausible that telephone service had diminishing average costs and might require regulation like a natural monopoly.
