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?
How can a monopolist identify the profit-maximizing level of output if it knows its total revenue and total cost curves?
How does the demand curve perceived by a monopolist compare with the market demand curve?
