When a monopolist identifies its profit-maximizing quantity of output, how does it decide what price to charge?
How can a monopolist identify the profit-maximizing level of output if it knows its total revenue and total cost curves?
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 demand (downward sloping line) and marginal cost (upward sloping curve) of a monopolist are shown. Use the segment tool to add a marginal revenue curve to the graph. Then, use the point tool to indicate the monopolists profit maximizing price/quantity combination. Segment Point A Undo - Redo x Reset 10 10 quantity Price

Use the following demand schedule for a monopolist to calculate total revenue and marginal revenue. for each price, indicate whether demand is elastic, unit elastic, or inelastic. Using the data from the demand schedule, graph the demand curve, the marginal revenue curve and the total revenue curve. identify the elastic, unit elastic and ineleastic segments along the demand curve.
