Suppose a Monopolist Is Currently Producing at a Point Where

question 63

Multiple Choice

Suppose a monopolist is currently producing at a point where marginal revenue is $20 and marginal cost is $25. This monopolist should:

• A) decrease output in order to increase profits.
• B) increase output in order to increase profits.
• C) make no change in output. It is maximizing profits at its current level of production.
• D) advertise less. This would cut its costs and bring it to a profit maximizing position.
