A monopolist is faced with the following cost and revenue curves:(picture)
a.What is the maximum-profit price and output,total revenue, total cost and profit?
b.If the monopolist were ordered to produce 300 units, what would be the market price and how much profit would now be made
c.If the monopolist were faced with the same demand, but average costs were constant at £60 per unit, what output would maximise profit?
What would be the price now?.................................................................................................
