In perfect competition, marginal revenue was always just the price. Here, since we have a downward-sloping demand curve, our marginal revenue is decreasing. Let's draw this marginal revenue curve on the graph. So when we had 1 subscriber, a quantity of 1, we were at 70. And then when...
and then, based on total revenue, calculate its marginal revenue curve. The profit-maximizing quantity will occur where MR = MC—or at the last possible point before marginal costs start exceeding marginal revenue. On Figure 1, MR = MC
we sell one additional unit at the new market price. Second, all the previous units, which could have been sold at the higher price, now sell for less. Because of the lower price on all units sold, the marginal revenue of selling a unit is less than the...
Since a monopolist is the sole producer, itsdemand curveis the market demand curve i.e. a downward-sloping demand curve. As shown in the graph below, a monopolist’s marginal revenue is less than its price. Marginal revenueof a monopolist (MM) is given by the following equation: ...

We present the necessary conditions of the monopolist鈥檚 optimal control problem and observe their interpretation is that marginal revenue equals marginal cost at each node for each instant of continuous time. Existence of an optimal solution to the monopolist鈥檚 problem is proven and a numerical ...
Monopoly profit ismaximizedat a point at which the monopoly’s marginal revenue is equal to its marginal cost. There are two ways to find the optimal output and price: graphical and mathematical. The following graph shows the profit-maximizing output and price of a monopolist. ...
What types of monopoly have a continually declining ATC curve: a. natural monopoly b. a government - created monopoly c. a revenue monopoly d. all three Is there a legal way to own a monopoly? Give an example of a firm that's a monopoly right now. How/why did it become a monopoly...
Remember that profit is equal to total revenue (TR) minus total cost (TC): This last form of the profit equation, which we also used with competitive businesses, allows us to measure a monopoly’s profit from a graph. The grey box in Figure 15.5 illustrates profit for a monopolist. The...
