Suppose that the industry demand curve is given by P = 120 – 2Q.
The monopolist/incumbent faces MCM=ACM=40. a)
a) Solve for the profit-maximizing level of monopoly output,
price, and profits.
b) Suppose a potential entrant is considering entering, but the
monopolist has a cost advantage. The potential entrant faces costs
MCPE=ACPE=60. Assuming the monopolist/incumbent continues to
produce the profit-maximizing quantity from part a), solve for the
residual demand curve for the entrant.
c) Assume the potential entrant follows the...
