3. A local electrical utility is a natural monopoly because it enjoys “economies of scale". Suppose the utility faces demand given by p(q) = 36 - Q and the cost function CQ = Q?. Ignore the fixed costs and assume that the utility is legally obligated to charge all consumers the same price. Draw a clearly labeled graph representing this market. Be sure to draw the demand curve, marginal cost curve, and marginal revenue curve. Label the monopoly solution (Qm, pm). Calculate the producer surplus, consumer surplus, and the dead weight loss (DWL).
