8.Which of the following statements about single-price monopolists is correct? The profit-maximizing level of output is the same as the total revenue- maximizing level of output. The average revenue curve lies above the demand curve. AR is greater than MR. Price elasticity of demand will be equal to one if the firm is profit-maximizing. Price equals marginal cost at the profit- maximizing level of output.

3. Profit Maximization with Limited Information. Joe Holiday is a monopoly provider of Fishing Reels in a remote fishing village on a barrier island off the Gulf Coast. Currently he is selling is BassMaster reels for $50 each. Joe doesn't know the precise demand function for fishing reels, but he estimates price elasticity of demand to be -2. If the reels cost Joe $30 each, is he maximizing profits? If not, what would be the profit maximizing price? Is $50 a profit maximizing price? Y/N (circle one) Profit Maximizing Price
