Compared with a perfectly competitive market, a single-price monopoly with the same market demand and cost curves will

The question refers to the following graph, which shows the cost and revenue curves for a profit-maximizing monopolistically competitive firm. The figure shows a graph with a horizontal axis labeled Quantity, a vertical axis labeled Price, and an origin labeled 0. Four quantities appear on the horizontal axis, starting to the far right of the origin, from left to right, and are labeled Q 1, Q 2, Q 3, and Q 4. Five prices appear on the vertical axis and are labeled, from bottom to top and starting above the origin, P 1, P 2, P 3, P 4, and P 5.Four lines appear on the graph. A curved line labeled Marginal Cost begins slightly below P 1 and to the left of Q 1, near the vertical axis. The curved line moves downwards and to the right until it is slightly above the horizontal axis and then moves steeply upwards and to the right crossing through points Q 1 and P 1, and Q 2 and P 4. It ends high above P 5 and between Q 3 and Q 4. A curved line labeled Average Total Cost begins above P 5 and to the left of Q 1. It moves steeply downwards and to the right until it intersects the Marginal Cost curve at a quantity between Q 1 and Q 2 and at a price of P 2. It then turns up and moves steadily upwards and ends high above P 5, to the right of Q 4. A straight line labeled Marginal Revenue starts high above P 5 on the vertical axis. The line moves steeply downwards and to the right and intersects the Marginal Cost curve at point Q 1 and P 1. It continues moving downwards till it crosses through the horizontal axis between Q 3 and Q 4 and ends below the axis to the right of Q 4. A straight line labeled Demand begins at the same point as the Marginal Revenue high above P 5 on the vertical axis. The line moves steadily downwards and to the right crossing through points Q 1 and P 5. It then intersects the Marginal Cost curve at point Q 2 and P 4. It intersects the Average Total Cost curve at point Q 3 and P 3. It continues moving downwards till it crosses Q 4 and P 2. It continues downwards and to the right and ends at approximately P 1 and to the right of Q 4. Is the firm in short-run or long-run equilibrium?

The figure shows the graph of four curves in the first quadrant of a coordinate plane. The horizontal axis is labeled “Quantity” and the vertical axis is labeled “Cost comma Price.” The quantities Q sub 1, Q sub 2, Q sub 3, and Q sub 4 are indicated from left to right on the horizontal axis. Q sub 1 is located about one fifth of the way along the horizontal axis. The distance from Q sub 2 to Q sub 1 is about the same as the distance from Q sub 1 to the origin. The distance from Q sub 3 to Q sub 2 is a little less than the distance from Q sub 2 to Q sub 1. The distance from Q sub 4 to Q sub 3 is about one third of the distance from Q sub 3 to Q sub 2. The value P is indicated on the vertical axis, about halfway up the axis. The four curves are labeled M R equals d, M C, A V C, and A T C. Curve M R equals d begins on the vertical axis at P and moves horizontally to the right until it ends to the right of Q sub 4 at a height of P. Curve M C begins about halfway between the vertical axis and Q sub 1, and slightly below curve M R equals d. Curve M C moves nearly horizontally to the right until it reaches its lowest point at Q sub 1. From this point, curve M C begins to move upward and to the right, gradually at first and then more steeply. It intersects curve M R equals d at the point with coordinates Q sub 2 comma P, continues upward and to the right, and ends to the right of Q sub 4 and high above P. Curve A V C begins about three fourths of the way up the vertical axis and slightly to the right of Q sub 1. It moves downward and to the right, begins to level out, and reaches its lowest point where it intersects curve M C at Q sub 3. Curve A V C then moves upward and to the right, and ends to the right of Q sub 4 and at a similar height to where it began. Curve A T C begins above and to the right of the starting point of curve A V C and to the left of Q sub 2. Curve A T C moves downward and to the right, begins to level out, and reaches its lowest point where it intersects curve M C at Q sub 4. Curve A T C then moves upward and to the right, and ends slightly above the end point of curve A V C. The graph provided shows the demand (d), marginal revenue (MR), marginal cost (MC), and the average total cost (ATC) curves for a perfectly competitive firm. In order to maximize short-run profits, this perfectly competitive firm should produce at which of the following quantities of production?

If firms in a perfectly competitive industry have been dumping toxic waste free of charge into a river, government action to ensure a more efficient use of resources would have which of the following effects on the industry’s output and product price?

The following questions refer to the diagram below, which shows the short-run production function of a perfectly competitive firm that produces potatoes using one variable input, labor. Table: Short-run Production function of a Perfectly Competitive Firm Number of Workers Potatoes Harvested (pounds per hour) 0 0 1 3 2 7 3 10 4 12 5 13 6 12 If the firm can sell as many potatoes as it wants for $2 per pound and has to pay each worker $5 per hour, how many workers should the firm employ to maximize profits?
