(b) [15 marks] The graph below shows the demand curve D, the marginal revenue curve MR, the marginal cost curve MC and the average cost curve AC of a natural monopoly. A regulator wishes to minimise the deadweight loss in this market by regulating the monopoly price. The regulator can only set a per unit price, i.e.it cannot use a more complex pricing scheme such a combination of a fixed fee and a per unit price. P Р D AC MC MR
Which of the following is correct? The price and the corresponding quantity that the regulator should choose in this market is given by (i) the intersection of MR and MC (ii) the intersection of D and MC (iii) the intersection of D and AC (iv) none of the above. Explain your answer.
