Problem #1 The following graph shows the market demand and cost of production in the long run in an industry. Furthermore, assume that the demand and LATC equations are given as follows: D: P=1000-2Q LATC= 500-0.3Q LMC= 500-0.6Q If firms behaves as monopolist then price will be ______ on the graph, which is $______, the firm is earning _________In the amount of ____________ because price exceeds the ____________, thus, TR must also exceed the _____________. If unregulated, unlike a perfectly competitive firm, this firm may continue to earn _____________ in the long-run. If the firm behaves similar to a competitive firm, the price is _______on the graph and is $____________, the long run economic profit would be _________________ . This price is less than/more than the LATC, and the firm would _____________________ in the long-run. If regulators wanted to ensure zero economic profit for the firm, the price would be set at _______, which is $___________. This is an example of a market structure that we call______________________. In the business world an example of this situation would be _______________________________________________________________. Problem #2 The following monthly demand and supply equations for DVD players in a market are given. D: P = 800 – 2Q S: P = 100 + 3Q. a. The equilibrium price and quantity under perfect competition will be _______ and ________. b. The total gain in efficiency in the DVD market under perfect competition is $________________. c. If the production and disposal process impose a negative externality such that the social MC is 1.5 times of the private MC given above, the socially optimum price and quantity produced are___________, and ___________, respectively. c. Assume that a monopolist takes over the market. The equilibrium price and quantity will be _______ and ________. d. In the following graph, label prices and quantities computed in both cases, and identify the loss in economic efficiency (dead weight loss) due to the monopoly market structure. Problem #3 In the “real world” the market structure that dominates retailing is _______________________, Firms in ____________________ market structure compete based on ________________________________________________________. They may have ____________________________________ in the short- run, but in the long –run economic profits move toward ______________________ as more firms ______________________________ and demand for a single firm’s product or services ______________. Problem #4 The behavior of oligopolistic firms is interdependent. One way of demonstrating how oligopolistic firms may behave is chaos theory /game theory, which shows that most cartel agreements maybe __________________________ as firms have incentive to _____________________________. Problem #5 The intent of anti-trust legislation is to promote _______________________________ and prevent formation of ___________________________________.

Theory Evaluation Paper Guidelines Choose a theory from psychology, sociology, or communications. Here are examples of those theories: Psychology: http://changingminds.org/explanations/theories/a_alphabetic.htm Sociology: http://sociology.about.com/od/Sociology101/tp/Major-Sociological-Frameworks.htm Communications: http://www.peoi.org/Courses/Coursesen/mass/mass2.html Please note that these are examples. Once you have chosen your theory, you will need to find at least five (5) secondary scholarly research sources on the theory as well as include primary research (an interview with someone, surveys, or documented observations). The five secondary sources must come from library research databases (no exceptions). Focus on sources that are no more than 8-10 years old. In your paper, you will: 1. Describe and explain the theory, 2. Discuss current research on the theory, and 3. Apply the theory to the experiences of others. You will interview someone as part of your research, and you will take the theory you chose and apply it to that person’s experiences. Your 1,500 – 2,000 word paper should follow the structure and student example outlined on pages 197-207. Take note of the margin notes on the student example. Avoid over-using direct quotes. Paraphrase most often, and only use quotes when you are unable to translate information into your own words without changing the author’s ideas or intent. You may use no more than two lines of quoted text (lines, not sentences) for each page of your paper. You must use APA format for this paper: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ Your audience will be your classmates. Good luck!

Working With Families: The Case of Brady Brady is a 15-year-old, Caucasian male referred to me by his previous social worker for a second evaluation. Brady’s father, Steve, reports that his son is irritable, impulsive, and often in trouble at school; has difficulty concentrating on work (both at home and in school); and uses foul language. He also informed me that his wife, Diane, passed away 3 years ago, although he denies any relationship between Brady’s behavior and the death of his mother. Brady presented as immature and exhibited below-average intelligence and emotional functioning. He reported feelings of low self-esteem, fear of his father, and no desire to attend school. Steve presented as emotionally deregulated and also emotionally immature. He appeared very nervous and guarded in the sessions with Brady. He verbalized frustration with Brady and feeling overwhelmed trying to take care of his son’s needs. Brady attended four sessions with me, including both individual and family work. I also met with Steve alone to discuss the state of his own mental health and parenting support needs. In the initial evaluation session, I suggested that Brady be tested for learning and emotional disabilities. I provided a referral to a psychiatrist, and I encouraged Steve to have Brady evaluated by the child study team at his school. Steve unequivocally told me he would not follow up with these referrals, telling me, “There is nothing wrong with him. He just doesn’t listen, and he is disrespectful.” After the initial session, I met individually with Brady and completed a genogram and asked him to discuss each member of his family. He described his father as angry and mean and reported feeling afraid of him. When I inquired what he was afraid of, Brady did not go into detail, simply saying, “getting in trouble.” In the next follow-up session with both Steve and Brady present, Steve immediately told me about an incident Brady had at school. Steve was clearly frustrated and angry and began to call Brady hurtful names. I asked Steve about his behavior and the words used toward Brady. Brady interjected and told his dad that being PRACTICE called these names made him feel afraid of him and further caused him to feel badly about himself. Steve then began to discuss the effects of his wife’s death on him and Brady and verbalized feelings of hopelessness. I suggested that Steve follow up with my previous recommendations and, further, that he should strongly consider meeting with a social worker to address his own feelings of grief. Steve agreed to take the referral for the psychiatrist and said he would follow up with the school about an evaluation for Brady, but he denied that he needed treatment. In the third session, I met initially with Brady to complete his genogram, when he said, “I want to tell you what happens sometimes when I get in trouble.” Brady reported that there had been physical altercations between him and his father. I called Steve in and told him what Brady had discussed in the session. Brady confronted his father, telling him how he felt when they fight. He also told Steve that he had become “meaner” after “mommy died.” Steve admitted to physical altercations in the home and an increase in his irritability since the death of his wife. Steve and Brady then hugged. I told them it was my legal obligation to report the accusations of abuse to Child Protective Services (CPS), which would assist with services such as behavior modification and parenting skills. Steve asked to speak to me alone and became angry, accusing me of calling him a child abuser. I explained the role of CPS and that the intent of the call was to help put services into place. After our session, I called CPS and reported the incident. At our next session, after the report was made, Steve was again angry and asked me what his legal rights were as a parent. He then told me that he was seeking legal counsel to file a lawsuit against me. I explained my legal obligations as a clinical social worker and mandated reporter. Steve asked me very clearly, “Do you think I am abusing my son?” My answer was, “I cannot be the one to make that determination. I am obligated by law to report.” Steve sighed, rolled his eyes, and called me some names under his breath. Brady’s case was opened as a child welfare case rather than a child protective case (which would have required his removal from the home). CPS initiated behavior modification, parenting skills classes, and a school evaluation. Steve was ordered by the court to seek mental health counseling. One year after I closed this case, Brady called me to thank me, asking that I not let his father know that he called. Brady reported that they continued to be involved with child welfare and that he and his father had not had any physical altercations since the report.
