7. The IP bargain
What trade-off does patent policy optimize?
8. Merger arithmetic
What does merger review principally compute?
9. The cartel's approximation
If a cartel achieved the monopoly outcome, what price would the worked market see? Write the number.
10. The natural-monopoly floor
With AC falling, is MC above or below AC? Answer with one word.
11. The cartel broken
Antitrust breaks up the worked cartel and the market turns competitive. What outcome appears?
12. Rate-of-return regulation
A natural monopoly is regulated to price at average cost. What is the firm's profit?
13. The patent's ledger
A patent sustains the monopoly numbers, price 56, quantity 22, for its 20-year term. What is the per-period social cost?
14. Merger math in the worked numbers
A merger would push the worked market from competition to the monopoly numbers. What does the review conclude?
15. The competitive quantity restored
After the cartel breaks, demand at p of 12 solves 100 minus 2Q equal 12 for Q, and write the number.
16. Zero under average-cost pricing
With price set equal to average cost, compute profit as price minus AC times quantity, and write the number.
