The graph shows the average cost, marginal cost, demand, and marginal revenue curves for a monopoly firm. If the firm produces 45 units of output per day, it Price Average (dollars Marginal cost per unit) 10 cost 8 4 De mand Marginal revenue 10 20 30 40 45 Quantity (units per day) Select one: O a. will be maximizing profit. O b. will be able to increase profit by producing less per day. O c. will charge a price that exceeds its marginal cost. O d. will be able to increase profit by producing more per day.

Explain why it is not possible for a monopoly firm to maximise its profits by charging a price in the price region where demand is inelastic, even though there are no direct substitutes for its product. Also explain how a monopoly will be able to charge a higher price than a firm producing the good under perfect, oligopolistic, or monopolistic competition
