2.3 Calculate the monopoly price (PM) and quantity (QM). [Grading Weight: 0.25%] 2.4 Under this unregulated monopoly, calculate the consumer surplus (CSM), profit (TM), and total surplus (TSM). (Grading Weight: 6.25%] CONTINUED OVERLEAF To regulate this monopoly market. a regulator introduces a Rate of Return (RoR) regulation with the fair rate of return f. The profit function and constraint line are plotted below. The intersections points of profit function and constraint line are (Q.T) = (1,7) and (Q.T) = (12,84). 90 Profit Function Carstraint une ВО 70 BO Profit 30 20 10 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 101112 13 14 15 18 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Quantity 2.5 Concisely describe the Rate of Return (RoR) regulation. Also, what f did the regulator choose? Calculate. (Grading Weight: 6.25%] 2.6 Derive the regulated price (ProR), quantity (Ror), capital (K RoR), labour (LRor), consumer surplus (CSRoR), profit (Tror), and total surplus (TSRoR). Does the over-capitalisation phe- nomenon happen under this regulatory environment? [Grading Weight: 6.25%] 2.7 Compared to the unregulated monopoly, how much of an increase in total surplus does this RoR regulation create? Grading Weight: 12.5%)
