A monopolist is chooses their price (and the associated quantity implied by their demand curve) such that the price elasticity demand could be either -0.5 or -1.2. Which of the following statements are true: O -0.5 could be profit maximising, but -1.2 could not be profit maximising O Neither price-elasticities of demand could be profit maximising O Both price elasticies of demand could be profit maximising O 1.2 could be profit maximising, but -0.5 could not be profit maximising

[Q: 11-4660750j Consider a monopoly that faces an inverse demand curve with a constant elasticity, p(Q) = Q°, and that has a constant marginal cost, MC(Q) = m.

O A. 65.42% O B. 38.1% OC. the same incidence as when the tax is imposed on a perfectly competitive firm. O D. 50% O E. 116.95%
