Monopolist Question: Demand curve, marginal cost, revenue
A monopolist with a straight-line demand curve finds
that it can sell two units at $12 each or 12 units at $2
each. Its fixed cost is $20 and its marginal cost is constant
at $3 per unit.
a. Draw the MC(marginal cost), ATC (average-total-cost), MR (marginal revenue), and demand curves for this
monopolist.
b. At what output level would the monopolist produce?
c. At what output level would a perfectly competitive
firm produce?
