2 Principles of Microeconomics Exam 3 (Test Form A) Part I: Multiple Choice Problems Identify the letter of the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question. 1. The profit-maximization problem for a monopolist differs from that of a competitive firm in which of the following ways? a. A competitive firm maximizes profit at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost; a monopolist maximizes profit at the point where marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost. b. A competitive firm maximizes profit at the point where average revenue equals marginal cost; a monopolist maximizes profit at the point where average revenue exceeds marginal cost. c. For a competitive firm, marginal revenue at the profit-maximizing level of output is equal to marginal revenue at all other levels of output; for a monopolist, marginal revenue at the profit-maximizing level of output is smaller than it is for larger levels of output. d. For a profit-maximizing competitive firm, thinking at the margin is much more important than it is for a profit-maximizing monopolist. 2.

In a perfect competitive market, a typical ice-cream producer has a fixed cost 16 dollars and the following average variable cost: (16 points) Quantity Average variable cost Average total cost 1 $ (I talked this problem in class) a) Calculate the average total cost and fill in the above table and find out the efficient production scale. The efficient production scale is 4 and LR equilibrium price is the minimized ATC=8 b) In a graph, draw the marginal cost, average total cost, average fixed cost and average variable cost curves for a typical firm. Label your graph clearly. These curves are typical cost curves for a firm. I need to see: 1) MC, AVC are increasing 2) ATC is U-shaped 3) MC and ATC intersects at the minimized ATC. 4) AFC is decreasing.
10 3. Some 5. A c) Now suppose the market demand is given by Q=100-5p, where p is the market price of ice-cream and Q is the quantity demanded. Then in the long run, how many firms will be in the ice-cream market? Explain your answer carefully. LR price is 8, so the total demand is Q=100-5*8=60. Then the number of firms is 60/4=15 since each firm will produce at the efficient production scale 4. d) Now suppose that there is a permanent positive shock on the demand side, how would you predict the price of ice-cream and the number of firms in the short run and in the long run? Why? Use graphs to support your conclusions if necessary. Positive shock will make the price go up in the short run and existing firms will earn positive profit. With free entry, new sellers will enter the market, increasing the supply, driving down the price to the LR equilibrium price. In the equilibrium, the price will be 8 again and the number of firms increases. 2. Give two reasons why the long-run industry supply curve may slope upward. Use an example to demonstrate your reasons. (5 points) resource used in production may be available only in limited quantities and firms may have different cost structures. The example provided in the text for the first reason is the market for farm products. As more people become farmers, the price of land is bid up since its supply is limited. As the price of farm land is bid up, the costs of all farmers in the market rise. The example used to support the second reason is the market for painters. Anyone can enter the market for painting services, but not everyone has the same costs because some painters work faster than others. 4. Let's assume that a monopolist decides to maximize revenue, rather than profit. How does this operating objective change the size of the deadweight loss? If you are a "benevolent" manager of a monopoly firm and are interested in reducing the deadweight loss of monopoly, should you maximize profits or maximize revenue? Carefully explain your answer. (5 points) revenue maximizer operates where MR = 0. This solution moves the monopolist closer to the socially optimal competitive outcome, and reduces deadweight loss. Revenue maximization is potentially a more "socially" optimal objective for monopoly markets than profit maximization.
