MonoMed, having a Patent on production of a medicine, has following Demand and CostSchedule: Price (Rs ): 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 Quantity 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 TVC ( Rs ) 0 13 16 20 25 31 38 46 56 68 Where Fixed Cost is Rs 5 In a Table calculate TR, MR, TC, AVC, ATC and MC at each price. Plot the Demand, Marginal Revenue MR, Average Total Cost ATC, Average Variable Cost AVC and Marginal Cost MC Curves of the Firm in a clearly labelled graph. Calculate the profit earned, if any and show the area on the firm’s graph. How would you define the market structure of MonoMed? What are the characteristics? Does the firm have pricing power? E) What will be the impact of the firm on societal welfare? Would there be welfare loss as compared to a competitive firm? If so, briefly explain. Support your answer using MonoMed’s graph in (b) above.

You own Athleticon, which manufactures athletic wear. Your new contract with Atlanta United, a professional soccer team, allows Athleticon to be the sole suppler of athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo. No one lese can manufacture athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo. What do you think will be Athleticon’s level of profitability on the sale of “Atlanta United” athletic wear? Explain why. Your contract with Atlanta United only lasts 3 years. It was not renewed. Other firms can now manufacture athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo It is now 5 years after your contract with Atlanta United was terminated. Any manufacturer that wants to can manufacture and sell athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo. What do you think will be the level of profitability and rate of return on manufacturing athletic wear with the “Atlanta United” logo? Explain why.

Consider a mature maket with a demand given by P=105.4-10Q The cost of production is given by C=10Q For many years this market has been served by a monopolist. How much profit would the firm lose if it is forced to behave as a competitive firm In all your calculations use numbers with 4 decimal places.
