Monopolists, like firms in other market structure, strive to maximize profit. Microsoft when it first came out with its Windows operating system was thought to be a monopolist. Assume that Microsoft is a monopolist and calculates that at its present output level, marginal cost is $3.50 and marginal revenue is $2.75. Microsoft could increase profits by -leaving both quatity and price unchanged. - decreasing price and increasing output. -leaving both quatity and price unchanged. -decreasing price and leaving output unchanged. -decreasing output and leaving price unchanged
