Question

Draw the demand curve, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves from Figure $9.6,$ and identify the quantity of output the monopoly wishes to supply and the price it will charge. Suppose demand for the monopoly's product increases dramatically. Draw the new demand curve. What happens to the marginal revenue as a result of the increase in demand? What happens to the marginal cost curve? Identify the new profit-maximizing quantity and price. Does the answer make sense to you?

draw-a-monopolists-demand-curve-marginal-revenue-and-marginal-cost-curves-identify-the-monopolists-2

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?

0:00 Hello everyone.
00:01 So in the following graph diagram, x axis represents marginal revenue and marginal cost and y axis represents quantity.
00:12 Now according to the figure, quantity at which the monopolist wishes to self is four units because at this point monopolist margin revenue and marginal cost are equal...
