Draw a monopolistic firm that is maximizing profit. Include MC, MU, and a downward-sloping MR that is left of the MU curve. Label the axes. Label the y-axis at the points where MC=MU and call it PC. Identify the point where MC=MR and draw a line from that point up to the MU curve (the demand curve). Identify where Qm would touch the MU curve and label the point on the y-axis PM.

Draw a graph that shows a monopolist earning a profit. Be sure your graph includes the monopolist's demand, marginal revenue, average total cost, and marginal cost curves. Be sure to indicate the profit-maximizing level of output and price.

How Does a Monopoly Choose Price and Output?
Draw the demand curve, marginal revenue curve, average total cost curve, and marginal-cost curve for a monopolist. Show the profit-maximizing level of output, the profit-maximizing price, and the amount of profit. Why the demand curve for a firm operating in monopolistic competition is more elastic compared to the firm operating as a monopoly.

Draw a monopolist's demand curve, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves. Identify the monopolist's profit-maximizing output level. Now, think about a slightly higher level of output (say $\mathrm{Q}_{0}+1$ ). According to the graph, is there any consumer willing to pay more than the marginal cost of that new level of output? If so, what does this mean?
