The demand curve for a monopolist is
given by P = 350 ‑ 7Q, and the total cost curve is given by TC =
500 + 70Q (20 points)
a. Find the monopolist's economic
profit (10 points)
b. What is the welfare distribution for
the economy? (10 points)
Hint: before calculating producer and consumer surplus it
may be useful to draw the market demand and the market supply
curves to check the intersection points
