A single-price monopolist is currently producing at an output level where marginal revenue is $14, marginal cost is $16, AVC=$13, and ATC= $15. It is assumed that the monopolist, as usual, chooses its price on the demand curve. To maximize profit or minimize losses in the short run, this monopolist should O A. decrease the price and increase the level of output. O B. increase the price and the level of output. O C. leave the market. O D. decrease the price and the level of output. O E. increase the price and decrease the level of output.

Monsanto holds significant regional monopoly power-in some regions they are a true monopoly being the only seller of agriculture seeds. If the elasticities of demand, JEDI, for soybean seeds is 3.5, and 3 for corn, then the profit-maximizing price (relative to marginal cost) for soybeans is times marginal cost, and the price is times marginal cost for corn. Round to one decimal if needed. A Moving to another question will save this response. « >
