Imagine that you ale managing a small firm and thinking about entering the market of a monopolist. The monopolist is currently charging a high price, and you have calculated that you can make a nice profit charging 10 less than the monopolist. Before you go ahead and challenge the monopolist, what possibility should you consider for how the monopolist might react?
Draw a monopolists demand curve, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves. Identify the monopolists profit-maximizing output level. Now, think about a slightly higher level of output (sayQ0+1). According to the graph, is there any consumer willing to pay more than the marginal cost of that new level of output? If so, what does this mean?
The accompanying diagram shows demand and long-run cost conditions in a price-searcher market with high barriers to entry. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity. Then, use the gray rectangle (star symbols) to shade the area corresponding to the profit or losses in this industry.

O The marginal cost curve intersects the demand curve at the profit-maximizing quantity.

Bob, Bill, Ben, and Brad Baxter have just made a documentary movie about their basketball team. They are thinking about making the movie available for download on the internet, and they can act as a single-price monopolist if they choose. Each time the movie is downloaded, their internet service provider charges them a fee of $6. The accompanying table shows the demand schedule for their film.

For the following Demand calculate Total Revenue and Marginal Revenue as price falls and quantity increases for a monopolist that charges the same price to all customers. State and explain your results for each price and quantity combination in the table. When and why does Marginal Revenue become less than zero? Do you think a rational Business would select a price where Marginal Revenue is less than zero?
How do I figure out the second part?
