Draw the graph. If the monopoly is a single price monopoly then: the monopoly produces a quantity Q = ______ where ________________ (which curves intersect?) the monopoly charges a price of P = ________ the consumer surplus is CS = ______ (identify the area on the graph and calculate it). the producer surplus is PS = _________(identify the area on the graph and calculate it). the deadweight loss of the monopoly (as compared to perfect competition) is DWL = ______ (identify the area on the graph and calculate it).
Google dominates online search options and advertising. Some contend Google is a monopoly. First, consider competition and answer these questions: Is Google protected by a barrier to entry, and If so, which barrier(s)? Is there a viable substitute for Google? Second, consider whether Google is a monopoly or not. How does Google’s control of the market influence market price and market quantity? If Google is a monopoly, how would breaking up affect the market price and market quantity? How do we test these hypotheses?
