Deadweight Loss of a Monopoly
Computing the deadweight loss of monopoly pricing relative to the competitive outcome.
John runs the only private tutoring service in his city for ACT preparation. The demand curve for these tutoring sessions is given by d curve, and the supply curve is given by s curve. Here both curves give the price P as a function of the quantity Q, the supply curve is the seller's marginal cost curve, and the seller charges one price for every unit. The deadweight loss is the total surplus lost relative to the competitive quantity, where demand equals marginal cost. Take the stated monopoly price as exact. With the optimal monopoly price set at m price, what will be the deadweight loss compared to the market equilibrium?
