Q2: (10%)

If the on-campus demand for soda is as follows:

Price (per can)

$0.25

$0.50

$0.75

$1.00

$1.25

$1.50

$1.75

Quantity demanded (per day)

100

90

80

70

60

50

40

The marginal cost of supplying a soda is $0.50. What price per can will students end up paying in

A perfectly competitive market? (5%)

A monopoly market? (10%)

I have charted the demand, but need help charting the MC and MR. I know how to chart MC if I have a schedule, but saying the MC of supplying a soda is $.50 is throwing me off.

Price (per can)

$0.25

$0.50

$0.75

$1.00

$1.25

$1.50

$1.75

Quantity demanded (per day)

Explanation / Answer

under perfectly competitive market, the students would be paying a price equivalent to MC ie $0.5

under monoploy market price charged would be the one which satisfies MR=MC.
