Allocative Efficiency is
the least costly productionof the particular mix
of goods and servicesmost wanted by society

Other things being equal…if marginal utility falls sharply
the demand for that good is…
Elastic or Inelastic? Explain Why

INELASTIC
If my marginal utility for the second unit is only slightly less, I am very likely to buy the second
good with just a small decrease in price. That would be ELASTIC demand.
A decline in price will elicit only a small increase in quantity demanded because the second unit really does not give much additional utility – even on sale
I do not want more. That is INELASTIC demand.
![Page 97: M I C R O E C O N O M I C S](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061617/56816556550346895dd7d4aa/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)

A small price increase for an elastic good will cause
MANY consumers to flee. Therefore…
your profits
will FALL Go To Next Slide For The Results Of A Price Increase On An
Inelastic Good

But a small price increase for an inelastic
good will cause VERY FEW consumers to flee. Most will still buy the product at the new higher price.Therefore…
your profits will INCREAS

Total Product is how many total units all of the resource (labor)
was able to produce.
Marginal Product is how many units the last worker hired added
to the Total Product.
Average Product is output per labor unit
Firms use MARGINAL PRODUCT to decide if it is worth hiring the NEXT
employee.
(LABOR is usually the “resource” used in the examples!)

They Use The Fair Return Price As The Best Compromise Increased Output, Lower Price
and the Monopoly Earns a Normal Profit

industry from producing a good or service.
What do we call that type of

Why are the Demand and Marginal Revenue Curves so much more
elastic on the Monopolistic

Because the barriers to entry are present…but
not that great…so competitors can
come and go fairly easily.

Sometimes Oligopoly firms decide that rather than be
stuck with a price of Po they will meet in a dark room and come to an agreement to set output such that they can get
a higher price and more profits for their goods.
What are these evil-doers practicing?
![Page 220: M I C R O E C O N O M I C S](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061617/56816556550346895dd7d4aa/html5/thumbnails/220.jpg)

Sometimes it isn’t that they have come to an illegal
agreement. Sometimes there is just one dominant, efficient firm that is the
first to react to cost or demand changes, changes that will also
impact all of the firms in the Oligopoly. So the other firms tend to
follow what that dominant firm does. What do economists call
this Oligopoly Model?

So what does the
government do in a positive externality situation?

The government subsidizes the
activity so production will increase to a
socially acceptable level.

Draw a Lorenz Curve
and explain what it shows

Lorenz Curve
A
B
this graph shows the distribution of income among households
The Lorenz Curve is the actual distribution of income.
The 45° line represents perfect income distribution equality.
Area “A” reflects the degree of income inequality.
