Examples:
Chapter 5 – ELASTICITY OF DEMAND AND SUPPLY
- ED = A/B, where A = (70 – 50)/[(70 + 50)/2] = 0.0833 and B = (0.20 – 1.0)/[(0.20 + 1.0)/2] =0.333 and therefore ED = –0.25 (use absolute value 0.25). A 10 percent price increase (such as from $1.00 to $1.10) causes a 2.5(.25/.1) percent reduction in quantity (from 50 to 48.75 units).
Chapter 10 – MONOPOLISTIC COMPETITION AND OLIGOPOLY
b. The lowest loss is $30.
c. The firm should continue to produce up to and including 2 units because marginal revenue still exceeds marginal cost. [See answer to part (d).] In addition, at that quantity, price exceeds average variable cost. Operating in that range allows the firm to cover at least a portion of the fixed costs ($100) that would not be covered at all if the firm shuts down. Specifically, the firm should produce 2 units.
d. Through 2 units of output, marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost. Beyond 2 units, marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue.
Chapter 15 – ECONOMIC REGULATION AND ANTITRUST POLICY
- Governments attempt to control business behavior with (1) social regulations, such as those aimed at health and safety in the workplace; (2) economic regulations, where monopoly appears inevitable or even desirable; and (3) antitrust policy, which aims to promote market competition. This chapter examined in detail only two forms of government regulation of business: (a) economic regulation, such as the regulation of natural monopolies, and (b) antitrust policy, which promotes competition and prohibits efforts to monopolize, or cartelize, an industry.
