borishaifa [10]

Answer:

<u>Monopoly</u>

P =      $20.00

Q = 10,000

<u>Socically Efficient:</u>

P = $16.80

Q = 14,000

The monopoly generates a deadthweight loss to maximize their gain.

In the socially efficient situation, there is no deadthweight loss threfore this makes the economy as a whole better.

Explanation:

Price = 28 - 0.0008Q

Marginal Cost  = 0.0012Q

Revenue: P x Q = (28 - 0.0008Q) x Q = 28Q - 0.0008Q²

Marginal Revenue:

R' = R(q) / dq = 28 -0.0016Q

We want to produce and sale until marginal revenue matches marginal cost:

28 -0.0016Q = 0.0012Q

28 = 0.0028Q

Q = 28 / 0.0028 = 10,000

P = 28 - 0.0008 (10,000) =

P = 28 - 8 = 20.00

The social efficiency will be that Price equals Marginal Cost.

28 - 0.008Q = 0.0012Q

28 = 0.0020Q

28 / 0.0020 = Q = 14,000

P = 28 - 0.0008(14,000) = 28 - 11.2 = 16,8
