Define and explain the relationship between total revenue, average revenue, and marginal revenue for a monopolist. What is monopoly profit? Should a monopolist produce quantities of product greater than that which would maximize profits?

Total revenue is the total money received by selling the total quantity of output.

Marginal revenue is the additional revenue received by selling an additional unit of output.

Average revenue is calculated by dividing total revenue by total quantity.

TR curve is inverse U shape while MR and AR is negatively sloped.

When MR is zero, the TR is at its maximum.

When MR is positive, the TR is increasing but when MR is zero, TR is maximum. When MR becomes negative, the TR starts decreasing. AR remains positive.

MR lies below the AR( demand) curve.

The monopolist profit-maximising condition is

MR=MC

Corresponding to this condition, the quantity is determined and on the demand curve price will be determined.

There is economic profit because price is greater than MC at the profit-maximising quantity.

Profit is shown by the shaded rectangle.

Profit=(P-MC)Q

No, a monopolist should not produce quantities of product greater than that which would maximize profits because then profit will not be maximised.

In using the graph for a monopolist, with demand, marginal revenue, marginal cost, and average total cost curves, explain how you find the profit maximizing level of output. (Note that this question asks about OUTPUT. The next question asks about PRICE.) Profits are maximized at the quatnity where total revenue is highest above total cost Profits are maximized at the quantity where ATC hits its minimum Profits are maximized at the quantity where marginal revenue equals marginal cost Profits are...

Plot the total, marginal, and average products and explain in detail the relationship between each pair of curves. Explain why marginal product first rises, then declines, and ultimately becomes negative. What bearing does the law of diminishing returns have on short-run costs? Be specific. “When marginal product is rising, marginal cost is failing. And when marginal product is diminishing. Marginal cost is rising.” Illustrate and explain graphically.
