Â
2)     A monopoly’s demand function is P = 120 – Q,; TR= 120Q – Q2 and; MR = 120 – 2Q . If MC is constant at 10 what would be the deadweight loss if the firm charges its profit maximizing price

3)     Bowen is a manufacturer of golf carts in Minneapolis servicing Minnesota and several nearby states.  Over the past several years, a number of other golf cart companies have established operations in Bowen’s market area, putting severe pressure on prices. Accordingly, Bowen is contemplating construction of a new production facility capable of producing up to 4000 golf carts/year.  Engineering cost estimates for the new production facility indicate that
             TC = $4200 + 980Q +.003Q2  and
                    MC = 980 + .006Q
Â
A)Â Â Â Â Â Calculate the minimum efficient scale of production for each manufacturer in this industry.
