- A monopolist sells output for $4.00 per unit at the current level of production. At this level of output, the marginal cost is $3.00, average variable costs are $3.75, and average total costs are $4.25. The marginal revenue is $3.00. What is the short-run condition for the monopolist and what output changes would you recommend?arrow_forwardA monopoly is operating at a quantity where average total cost is $70, marginal revenue is $50, and the price is $65. If the monopoly's ATC curve is U-shaped and is currently at its minimum level, then to maximize profits, this business should: Select an answer and submit.
