Assuming that the price is greater than the average variable cost, a monopolist maximizes profits at the output for which (picture a graph): O price is equal to marginal revenue in the downward part of the marginal cost curve O marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue in the upward sloping part of the marginal cost curve O average variable cost and average total cost are in the downward part of their curves and price is equal to marginal cost O average total cost is at the lowest point
A natural monopoly exists when one firm can supply an entire market at a lower average total cost than can two or more firms, O a firm can engage in price discrimination. O a monopoly firm faces a horizontal demand curve. O the producers in an industry have formed a cartel. diseconomics of scale cxist in an industry.
Identify and discuss three ways in which a perfectly competitive market structure differsfrom a Monopoly.
The inefficiency of the monopoly lies in the higher output that it sells and the lower price that it charges for its commodity. O True O False
While firms in perfect competition maximize profit by producing at a quantity where the marginal cost of producing another unit of a good is equal the the marginal revenue from producing another unit, monopoly firms will maximize profit by producing at a quantity where marginal cost of producing another unit is equal to the marginal revenue (the same as perfect competition) the marginal profit the average total cost O the price of the good 10:04 P Bi 63°F Cloudy 5/20/202 e here to search O
Demand curve that faces a monopolist: Select one: O a. Vertical O b. is identical to the marginal revenue curve O c. lies above the marginal revenue curve O d. Horizontal
The monopoly supply curve is the O same as the competitive market supply curve. O portion of marginal costs curve where marginal costs exceed the minimum value of average variable costs. O result of market power and production costs. O none of the above
Consider a monopoly firm in the short run for which marginal revenue equals rising marginal cost at 150 units of output. At this output, the firm's total cost is $2000, total fixed cost is $800, marginal revenue is $3, and elasticity of demand is 2. Which of the following statements is correct about this firm? The firm should expand production beyond 150 units. O The firm is making a loss greater than total fixed cost and should shut down. The firm is making a profit and should continue to produce 150 units. The firm is making a loss smaller than total fixed cost and should continue to produce 150 units.
When regulating a natural monopoly, the government always sets a price ceiling where marginal cost intersects the demand curve. O True O False
