Hall Microeconomics Pindyck/Rubinfeld,7e.MONOPOLY10.1The Monopolists Output DecisionQ*is the output level at which MR=MC.If the firm produces a smaller outputsay,Q1it sacrifices some profit because the extra revenue that could be earned from producing and selling the units between Q1 and Q*exceeds the cost of producing them.Similarly,expanding output from Q*to Q2 would reduce profit because the additional cost would exceed the additional revenue.Profit Is Maximized When Marginal Revenue Equals Marginal CostFigure 10.2MONOPOLY10.1The Monopolists OChapter 10:Market Power:Monopoly and Monopsony7 of 50Copyright 2009 Pearson Education,Inc.Publishing as Prentice Hall Microeconomics Pindyck/Rubinfeld,7e.MONOPOLY10.1The Monopolists Output DecisionWe can also see algebraically that Q*maximizes profit.Profit is the difference between revenue and cost,both of which depend on Q:As Q is increased from zero,profit will increase until it reaches a maximum and then begin to decrease.Thus the profit-maximizing Q is such that the incremental profit resulting from a small increase in Q is just zero(i.e.,/Q=0).ThenBut R/Q is marginal revenue and C/Q is marginal cost.Thus the profit-maximizing condition is that,orMONOPOLY10.1The Monopolists OChapter 10:Market Power:Monopoly and Monopsony8 of 50Copyright 2009 Pearson Education,Inc.Publishing as Prentice Hall Microeconomics

cost.Marginal revenue is the slope of the total revenue curve,and marginal cost is the slope of the total cost curve.The profit-maximizing output is Q*=10,the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.At this output level,the slope of the profit curve is zero,and the slopes of the total revenue and total cost curves are equal.The profit per unit is$15,the difference between average revenue and average cost.Because 10 units are produced,total profit is$150.Example of Profit MaximizationFigure 10.3MONOPOLY10.1An ExamplePart(a)Chapter 10:Market Power:Monopoly and Monopsony9 of

should equal marginal cost into a rule of thumb that can be more easily applied in practice.To do this,we first write the expression for marginal revenue:MONOPOLY10.1A Rule of Thumb foChapter 10:Market Power:Monopoly and Monopsony10 of 50Copyright 2009 Pearson Education,Inc.Publishing as Prentice Hall Microeconomics Pindyck/Rubinfeld,7e.MONOPOLY10.1A Rule of Thumb for PricingNote that the extra revenue from an incremental unit of quantity,(PQ)/Q,has two components:1.Producing one extra unit and selling it at price P brings in revenue(1)(P)=P.2.But because the firm faces a downward-sloping demand curve,producing and selling this extra unit also results in a small drop in price P/Q,which reduces the revenue from all units sold(i.e.,a change in revenue QP/Q).Thus,MONOPOLY10.1A Rule of Thumb foChapter 10:Market Power:Monopoly and Monopsony11 of 50Copyright 2009 Pearson Education,Inc.Publishing as Prentice Hall Microeconomics Pindyck/Rubinfeld,7e.MONOPOLY10.1A Rule of Thumb for Pricing(Q/P)(P/Q)is the reciprocal of the elasticity of demand,1/Ed,measured at the profit-maximizing output,andNow,because the firms objective is to maximize profit,we can set marginal revenue equal to marginal cost:which can be rearranged to give us(10.1)Equivalently,we can rearrange this equation to express price directly as a markup over marginal cost:(10.2)MONOPOLY10.1A Rule of Thumb foChapter 10:Market Power:Monopoly and Monopsony12 of 50Copyright 2009 Pearson Education,Inc.Publishing as Prentice Hall Microeconomics Pindyck/Rubinfeld,7e.In 1995,Prilosec,represented a new generation of antiulcer medication.Prilosec was based on a very different biochemical mechanism and was much more effective than earlier drugs.By 1996,it had become the best-selling drug in the world and faced no major competitor.Astra-Merck was pricing Prilosec at about$3.50 per daily dose.The marginal cost of producing and packaging Prilosec is only about 30 to 40 cents per daily dose.The price elasticity of demand,ED,should be in the range of roughly 1.0 to 1.2.Setting the price at a markup exceeding 400 percent over marginal cost is consistent with our rule of thumb for pricing.MONOPOLY10.1In 1995,Prilosec,representedChapter 10:Market Power:Monopoly and Monopsony13 of 50Copyright 2009 Pearson Education,Inc.Publishing as

cost but also on the shape of the demand curve.Shifts in demand can lead to changes in price with no change in output,changes in output with no change in price,or changes in both price and output.MONOPOLY10.1Shifts in DemandA Chapter 10:Market Power:Monopoly and Monopsony14 of 50Copyright 2009 Pearson Education,Inc.Publishing as Prentice Hall Microeconomics Pindyck/Rubinfeld,7e.MONOPOLY10.1Shifts in DemandShifting the demand curve shows that a monopolistic market has no supply curvei.e.,there is no one-to-one relationship between price and quantity produced.In(a),the demand curve D1 shifts to new demand curve D2.But the new marginal revenue curve MR2 intersects marginal cost at the same point as the old marginal revenue curve MR1.The profit-maximizing output therefore remains the same,although price falls from P1 to P2.In(b),the new marginal revenue curve MR2 intersects marginal cost at a higher output level Q2.But because demand is now more elastic,price remains the same.Shifts in DemandFigure 10.4MONOPOLY10.1Shifts in DemandShChapter 10:Market Power:Monopoly and Monopsony15 of 50Copyright 2009 Pearson

MC+t.In this example,the increase in price P is larger than the tax t.Effect of Excise Tax on MonopolistFigure 10.5Suppose a specific tax of t dollars per unit is levied,so that the monopolist must remit t dollars to the government for every unit it sells.If MC was the firms original marginal cost,its optimal production decision is now given byMONOPOLY10.1The Effect of a TaChapter 10:Market

plants.What should its total output be,and how much of that output should each plant produce?We can find the answer intuitively in two steps.Step 1.Whatever the total output,it should be divided between the two plants so that marginal cost is the same in each plant.Otherwise,the firm could reduce its costs and increase its profit by reallocating production.Step 2.We know that total output must be such that marginal revenue equals marginal cost.Otherwise,the firm could increase its profit by raising or lowering total output.MONOPOLY10.1*The Multiplant FiChapter 10:Market Power:Monopoly

algebraically.Let Q1 and C1 be the output and cost of production for Plant 1,Q2 and C2 be the output and cost of production for Plant 2,and QT=Q1+Q2 be total output.Then profit isThe firm should increase output from each plant until the incremental profit from the last unit produced is zero.Start by setting incremental profit from output at Plant 1 to zero:Here(PQT)/Q1 is the revenue from producing and selling one more uniti.e.,marginal revenue,MR,for all of the firms output.MONOPOLY10.1*The Multiplant FiChapter 10:Market Power:Monopoly and Monopsony18 of 50Copyright 2009 Pearson

power:For the competitive firm,price equals marginal cost;for the firm with monopoly power,price exceeds marginal cost.Measuring Monopoly Power Lerner Index of Monopoly Power Measure of monopoly power calculated as excess of price over marginal cost as a fraction of price.Mathematically:This index of monopoly power can also be expressed in terms of the elasticity of demand facing the firm.(10.4)MONOPOLY POWER10.2Remember theChapter 10:Market Power:Monopoly and Monopsony22 of 50Copyright 2009 Pearson Education,Inc.Publishing as Prentice Hall Microeconomics

in(a),the markup is small and the firm has little monopoly power.The opposite is true if demand is relatively inelastic,as in(b).Elasticity of Demand and Price MarkupFigure 10.8MONOPOLY POWER10.2The

elasticity of market demand for food is small(about 1),no single supermarket can raise its prices very much without losing customers to other stores.The elasticity of demand for any one supermarket is often as large as 10.We find P=MC/(1 0.1)=MC/(0.9)=(1.11)MC.The manager of a typical supermarket should set prices about 11 percent above marginal cost.Small convenience stores typically charge higher prices because its customers are generally less price sensitive.Because the elasticity of demand for a convenience store is about 5,the markup equation implies that its prices should be about 25 percent above marginal cost.With designer jeans,demand elasticities in the range of 2 to 3 are typical.This means that price should be 50 to 100 percent higher than marginal cost.MONOPOLY

only one firma pure monopolistits demand curve is the market demand curve.Because the demand for oil is fairly inelastic(at least in the short run),OPEC could raise oil prices far above marginal production cost during the 1970s and early 1980s.Because the demands for such commodities as coffee,cocoa,tin,and copper are much more elastic,attempts by producers to cartelize these markets and raise prices have largely failed.In each case,the elasticity of market demand limits the potential monopoly power of individual producers.The Elasticity of Market DemandSOURCES OF MONOPOLY
