**Exam Content**

**Question 1**

*(Figure: Profit-Maximization Decision of a Monopolist)*

The graph displays curves representing a monopolist's decision-making process for profit maximization. Various curves are depicted:

- **Demand (D)**: This curve shows the downward-sloping relationship between price and quantity demanded.
- **Marginal Cost (MC)**: This typically upward-sloping curve indicates the cost of producing an additional unit.
- **Average Total Cost (ATC)**: This curve shows the per-unit total cost at different levels of output.
- **Marginal Revenue (MR)**: This curve, generally down-sloping, reflects the additional revenue from selling one more unit.

The intersection of the MR and MC curves indicates the profit-maximizing quantity, where marginal cost equals marginal revenue. The corresponding price is found on the demand curve above this intersection point.

- The graph includes quantity (in thousands) on the horizontal axis and price/cost on the vertical axis, marked with grid lines to assist in pinpointing exact values.

In the figure, the cost per unit for this monopoly firm is:

A) $15  
B) $10  
C) $11  
D) $6
