The firm can make strictly positive profits in the long run. The firm's marginal revenue curve is downward sloping and below the price. A profit-maximizing firm produces a quantity such that marginal revenue equals marginal cost. The firm has market power.arrow_forwardThis profit-maximizing firm will produce Blank 1 units. What price will this profit-maximizing firm charge? $Blank 2 (Do NOT enter the '$' in your response. Enter only the whole dollar amount; do NOT enter cents.) If the industry was perfectly competitive instead of monopolistic, then market output would be Blank 3 units and market price would be $Blank 4. (Do NOT enter the '$' in your response.
