How can a monopolist identify the profit-maximizing level of output if it knows its total revenue and total cost curves?
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?

Andrew is a monopolist whose production process exhibits economies of scale. (a) Draw a diagram illustrating Andrew's profit-maximizing price and quantity. On your diagram, identify the deadweight loss of monopoly. (b) The government is concerned that Andrew is charging too high a price and plans to regulate the price. Hustrate the price regulation you would recommend on your diagram and explain your recommendation. (c) What is the maximum amount of money Andrew would be willing to spend lob- bying the government to avoid the price regulation you identified in (b)? 2.
