Question 17

A perfect monopoly occurs when

Accepted Answer

A perfect monopoly occurs when one firm or seller constitutes the entire industry and has complete control over the supply and price of a good or service. This means that there are no close substitutes for the good or service, and no potential for new firms to enter the market and compete with the existing firm.

Question 18

If a monopolist wishes to sell a larger quantity then

Accepted Answer

As a monopolist, the demand for their product is typically downward sloping, meaning that as they increase the price, the quantity demanded will decrease. Therefore, if the monopolist wishes to sell a larger quantity, they should lower their price to increase the quantity demanded. This is based on the law of demand, which states that as the price of a good decreases, the quantity demanded will increase, all else being equal.

Question 19

Assume that Acme Anvil company is currently selling 100 anvils at a price of $5 each. Cost per anvil is $4. What is total revenue?

Accepted Answer

Total revenue is the product of the price and the quantity sold. Therefore, total revenue = $5 x 100 = $500.

Question 20

Assume that Acme Anvil company sells 100 anvils at a price of $5 each. Cost per anvil is $4. What is total profit?

Accepted Answer

Total profit is calculated by subtracting the total cost from the total revenue. Here, total revenue is 100 anvils * $5 = $500, and total cost is 100 anvils * $4 = $400. So, total profit = $500 - $400 = $100.
