In general, a monopolist is likely to: earn lower profits than a perfectly competitive firm. earn about the same profits as a perfectly competitive firm. sell less output than a perfectly competitive firm. O charge a lower price than a perfectly competitive firm. O charges the same price as a perfectly competitive firm
While firms in perfect competition maximize profit by producing at a quantity where the marginal cost of producing another unit of a good is equal the the marginal revenue from producing another unit, monopoly firms will maximize profit by producing at a quantity where marginal cost of producing another unit is equal to O the marginal profit O the average total cost the price of the good the marginal revenue (the same as perfect competition)
Monopolists, like firms in other market structure, strive to maximize profit. Microsoft when it first came out with its Windows operating system was thought to be a monopolist. Assume that Microsoft is a monopolist and calculates that at its present output level, marginal cost is $3.50 and marginal revenue is $2.75. Microsoft could increase profits by -leaving both quatity and price unchanged. - decreasing price and increasing output. -leaving both quatity and price unchanged. -decreasing price and leaving output unchanged. -decreasing output and leaving price unchanged
