Find the profit-maximizing price and output of the new


4. Assume that a perfectly competitive industry that produces eyelets is taken over by a single firm and transformed into a monopoly. The monopolist faces the following demand function: Q = 100 - 2P. Marginal and average costs are equal and constant at $20 per unit. (There are no fixed costs) Again, it is recommended that you draw a graph .

a. Find the profit-maximizing price and output of the new monopoly.
b. Find the level of monopoly profits.
c. Calculate the efficiency loss or deadweight loss associated with monopolization.
