- A price taker options: is a seller who can set whatever price they want. is a seller who has no control over the price they charge. is a buyer who has no control over the price they pay. is common in a monopoly.arrow_forwardA monopoly company has an average variable cost of $6 average fixed cost of $8, marginal cost of $9, and elasticity of demand -4. In the short run, the company will: set P=$9. earn negative profit so shut down earn negative profit but still produce. set P-$12. set P=$14. earn positive profit. set P-$6. earn zero profit.arrow_forwardHow do you find the profit maximizing PRICE (not level of output) on a graph for a monopoly with demand, marginal revenue, marginal cost, and average total cost curves. Group of answer choices Find the minimum point on the ATC curve and go straight over to the price axis. Find the point where MR = MC and go straight over to the price axis. Find the point where MR = MC, go straight up until you hit the demand curve, and then go straight over to the price axis. Find the point where demand hits marginal cost and go straight over to the price axis.arrow_forward
- The figure below represents the cost and revenue structure for a monopoly firm. Cost and Revenue($) Pot Q₂ Q₂ Q₂Q₂ Quantity A profit-maximizing monopoly's total revenue is equal to: a. P3 x Q₂ b. P₂ x Q4 C. (P3-Po) x Q₂ d. (P3-Po) x Q4arrow_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. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a raise quantity produced. b lower quantity produced. not change the quantity produced since it is already maximizing profits. d. shut down.arrow_forwardFor a monopoly firm, marginal revenue when demand is price inelastic. when demand is price elastic and is Falling ; rising Negative ; positive Rising ; falling Positive ; negativearrow_forward
