Move the interactive point to identify where marginal revenue (MR) is equal to marginal cost (MC) for this monopolist, use the shape to identify the firm's profits, and then answer the question and complete the sentence. 100 Marginal Cost Profits 90 MR = MC 80 Average Total Cost 70 60 50 40 30 20 Demand 10 Marginal Revenue 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Quantity Price ($)arrow_forward15arrow_forward

- The figure to the right shows the demand and cost curves facing a monopoly. In order t maximize its profit, the monopolist produces less units than the competitive market level of output.

Solve for the inverse demand P(Q) curve by solving the demand curve for P in terms of Q. b. Using your answer from (a), express the monopolist’s total revenue in terms of Q as TR(Q) = QP(Q). c. Calculate the monopolist’s marginal revenue MR(Q) by differentiating the total revenue you found in theprevious step: MR(Q) = dTR(Q) / dQ. PLEASE SHOW ALL WORKarrow_forward
