1. Consider a monopolist where the market demand curve for the produce is given by P = 520 - 2Q. This monopolist has marginal costs that can be expressed as MC = 100 + 2Q and total costs that can be expressed as TC = 100Q + Q2 + 50. (Does not need to be done. Only here for reference)
2. Suppose this monopolist from Problem #1 is regulated (i.e. forced to behave like a perfect competition firm) and the price is set to marginal cost and demand is set to supply to find equilibrium quantity.
This regulated firm’s profit maximizing output is =
This regulated firm’s profit maximizing price is =
This regulated firm’s profit maximizing profit is =
This regulated firm’s profit maximizing consumer surplus is =
