The Spacing Guild has a monopoly on space transport. They sell tickets (Q) for seats on starships for interstellar travel at a per-ticket price of P. All tickets cost the same. The Marginal Cost for each seat is $20 and there are no other costs. Market demand is Q=430-3P. What is the difference between the Guild's QUANTITY and the quantity that would result if interstellar travel was a perfectly competitive market?

Imagine you are the owner of the Omaha Surfboard Company. You have a branch in Omaha and in Long Beach CA. After some market research you find the following surfboard demand for each market, Omaha Demand: Qo = 1000 – 10P Long Beach Demand: QL = 1000 – 5P Combined/Total Demand: Q = 2000 – 15P Your marginal cost is constant at $40. a. Find your price and quantity if you treated the market as a single entity with a single price. What is your profit? (Hint: find Marginal Revenue and set equal to MC) b. If you treat each market separately, what is P and Quantity in each market, and final profit?
