Question
![Suppose that in the figure to the right, a monopolist knows that if it produces 10
units of output, its total revenues equal $60.00 and its total costs equal $42.70. If it
were to reduce the price of its product to $5.80 per unit, the quantity demanded,
and hence its output, would rise to 11 units per week. If the total costs of
producing 11 units were equal to $48.70 per week, would the marginal revenue of
producing the 11th unit be greater or less than the marginal cost of producing
that unit? How would the firm's weekly economic profits be affected if the firm
were to produce the 11th unit?
The marginal revenue of producing the 11th unit would be greater than the
marginal cost by $ per unit. (Enter your response round
decimal places.)
