In Florida Caverns, we saw several rooms that seemed to have a line etched into the side of the chamber that was at roughly the same height in the room/depth below the surface. What was this line and what does it represent? Explain how this information could be used to better understand the geological past of that location.

Consider a partial equilibrium economy with utility function U(m, q) = m + q^(1/3), production function f(x) = x^(1/4), cost function C(q) = q^4, and marginal cost MC(q) = 4q^3. The ND-monopolist sets MR(q) = MC(q), i.e., (1/9)q^(-2/3) = 4q^3. Solving this equation, which equation must the monopoly quantity q*_M satisfy?

Consider a partial equilibrium economy with utility function U(m, q) = m + q^(1/3), production function f(x) = x^(1/4), and cost function C(q) = q^4. The MS at the competitive equilibrium is MS(q*_c) = (1/12)^(1/11) – (1/12)^(12/11) approximately 0.7374, and the MS at the ND-monopoly outcome is MS(q*_M) = (1/36)^(1/11) – (1/36)^(12/11) approximately 0.7198. The Deadweight Loss from ND-monopoly, DWL(q*_M) = MS(q*_c) – MS(q*_M), is approximately:
