- The chart below shows how annual electricity for an average Ontario household would vary with the price paid for electricity. Calculate the arc elasticity of demand for electricity for this average houschold. Also, in the final column, calculate the total revenue from sales of clectricity to this household. Price Quantity Demanded Kwh/year Total Revenue $/kwh Elasticity of Demand $0.25 1200 -0.36 $0.20 1300 $0.15 1400 $0.10 1500 $0.05 1600 Hint: The own price elasticity of demand is the percentage change in the quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in the price. What factors do you think influence the elasticity of demand for this household?3. Consider a monopolist who faces the following demand: Demand: P= 100 – 10Q MC= 50+20 a) Find the price quantity combination that maximizes profit for the monopolist. b) Is the firm making positive, negative or zero profits? (100,100) Kareem chooses (60, 105) (500, 400) Saleem chooses Kareem chooses (50,420) 4. Calculate the SPNE/SPNES for the game stated above.A monopolist faces a demand curve given by q = 32 − 0.5p. Its costs are given by 0.5q2 + 100. (a) What is the monopolist’s profit maximizing choice of output? At what price does it sell its product? (b) Draw a graph that illustrates the monopolist’s choices. (c) If this were a competitive market, what would be the equilibrium price and quan- tity? (d) If the monopolist were forced to sell its output at the price that would arise in the competitive market, would it still be able to make a profit?
