The following diagram illustrates the demand and marginal revenue curves facing a monopoly in an industry with no economies or diseconomies of scale. In the short and long run, MC = ATC. * Calculate the values of profit, consumer surplus, and deadweight loss, and illustrate these on the graph. * Repeat the calculations in part a, but now assume the monopoly is able to practice perfect price discrimination.

A monopoly has a marginal cost of zero and faces two groups of consumers. At first, the monopoly could not prevent resale, so it maximized its profit by charging everyone the same price, $p=\$ 5 .$ No one from the first group chose to purchase. Now the monopoly can prevent resale, so it decides to price discriminate. Will total output necessarily expand? Why or why not? What happens to profit and consumer surplus?
