Changes In demand and monopoly profits a Aa You have Just been hired to manage the product quality of wool socks made by Warmfeet Inc., the sole producer of wool socks revenue curve (MR), and marginal cost curve (MC that WarmFeet Inc currently faces. n the Imaginary economy of Freezetown.

Dashed lines will automaticaly extend to both axes PRICE IDallars per pair of seckal 12 New Proft Ha 0 24 68 1012 14 16 18 20 QUANTITY IPairs of socks per monthl Now suppose an increase in the popularity of wool has increased consumers' willingness to pay for wool socks by $6 for each quantity of socks demanded. Use the purple line (diamond symbols) to graph the new market demand curve after the increase in demand, then use the red line (cross symbols) to plot the new MR curve. Place the grey line (star symbols) at the new profit maximizing price and quantity True or False: Because marginal cost is higher at the new equilibrium output, we cannot determine whether overal profit will rise or fall as result of the increase in demand. O True O False

Explanation / Answer

The profit maximizing quantity is where MC=MR and this is at a quantity of 6 units at a price of $8/ pair of socks.

The demand curve will shift rightwards by $6 and so the new equilibrium will be at 8 units of output and a price of $4/unit.

The overall profit can be determined by total revenue minus total cost. So this is False.
