In perfect competition, the marginal revenue curve:
举一反三
- To maximize profit, the monopolist produces on the ________ portion of the demand curve where ________. A: elastic; price equals marginal cost B: elastic; marginal revenue equals marginal cost C: inelastic; price equals marginal revenue D: inelastic; marginal revenue equals marginal cost
- Monopolists will maximize profit by producing at an output level where which of the following conditions exists（） A: Price = marginal revenue = marginal cost. B: Price = demand = marginal revenue = marginal cost. C: Marginal revenue = marginal cost ＜ price.
- A profit-maximizing monopolist will produce the level of output at which A: average revenue is equal to average total cost. B: average revenue is equal to marginal cost. C: marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost. D: total revenue is equal to opportunity cost.
- If a firm in circumstances of perfect competition finds that, at its best possible operating position, total revenue is not sufficient to cover total variable costs, it should:
- A firm maximizes profit by operating at the level of output where A: average revenue equals average cost. B: average revenue equals average variable cost. C: total costs are minimized. D: marginal revenue equals marginal cost. E: marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost by the greatest amount.
