Three years ago, law school admits deciding whether or not to attend the schools they were admitted to typically underestimated the future demand for lawyers. This forecasted demand corresponded with salaries that many admits were unwilling to accept, and fewer students than usual ended up attending law school. Now that these students have completed law school, the small graduating classes have led to a more limited supply of lawyers than is generally available. What will be the result of this mismatch?

1)The lower supply of lawyers will lead to high salaries, and current law school admits will be more likely to decide to attend
2)The lower supply of lawyers will lead to high salaries, and current law school admits will be less likely to decide to attend
3)The lower supply of lawyers will lead to low salaries, and current law school admits will be more likely to decide to attend
4)The lower supply of lawyers will lead to low salaries, and current law school admits will be less likely to decide to attend

Consider the local telephone company, a natural monopoly. the following graph shows the monthly demand curve for phone services and the company’s marginal revenue (mr), marginal cost (mc), and average total cost (atc) curves. 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 price (dollars per subscription) quantity (thousands of subscriptions) d mr mc atc 8, 60 suppose that the government has decided not to regulate this industry, and the firm is free to maximize profits, without constraints. complete the first row of the following table. pricing mechanism short run long-run decision quantity price profit (subscriptions) (dollars per subscription) profit maximization marginal-cost pricing average-cost pricing suppose that the government forces the monopolist to set the price equal to marginal cost. complete the second row of the previous table. suppose that the government forces the monopolist to set the price equal to average total cost. complete the third row of the previous table. under average-cost pricing, the government will raise the price of output whenever a firm’s costs increase, and lower the price whenever a firm’s costs decrease. over time, under the average-cost pricing policy, what will the local telephone company most likely do
