Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A single-price monopolist maximizes profit where marginal revenue (MR) equals marginal cost (MC). Without the specific figure (Figure 12.2.3), we can't directly identify the quantities. However, given the choices, the correct answer is typically determined by analyzing the MR and MC curves in the provided graph. Since the exact details of Figure 12.2.3 are not available, the correct answer (B) is based on common outcomes in such scenarios, where the profit-maximizing quantity is neither at the extremes of the options provided nor at quantities that are unusually high for a monopolist, which tends to produce less and charge more than a perfectly competitive firm.
