  • What type of demand curve does a monopoly face?
    A monopoly faces a downward sloping demand curve.
  • How does the demand curve faced by a monopoly differ from that in perfect competition?
    In perfect competition, the firm faces a flat (horizontal) demand curve, while a monopoly faces a downward sloping demand curve.
  • What are the two main effects on revenue when a monopoly changes its price?
    The two main effects are the price effect and the output effect.
  • What is the price effect when a monopoly lowers its price?
    The price effect means the firm earns less revenue per unit sold because each unit is sold at a lower price.
  • What is the output effect when a monopoly lowers its price?
    The output effect means the firm sells more units, increasing total revenue from the higher quantity sold.
  • How do the price effect and output effect interact when a monopoly changes its price?
    They work in opposite directions: the price effect reduces revenue per unit, while the output effect increases revenue by selling more units.
  • What happens to marginal revenue when a monopoly lowers its price?
    Marginal revenue is always less than the price because of the combined price and output effects.
  • Why is marginal revenue less than price for a monopoly?
    Because lowering the price to sell more units reduces the revenue earned on all units, not just the additional ones sold.
  • How does raising the price affect the price and output effects for a monopoly?
    Raising the price increases revenue per unit (price effect) but decreases the number of units sold (output effect).
  • In perfect competition, how does price relate to marginal revenue?
    In perfect competition, price equals marginal revenue.
  • What is the key difference in revenue analysis between monopoly and perfect competition?
    In monopoly, marginal revenue is less than price, while in perfect competition, marginal revenue equals price.
  • How does the concept of monopoly revenue relate to monopolistic competition?
    The analysis of monopoly revenue is exactly the same as for monopolistic competition.
  • What happens to total revenue if the output effect outweighs the price effect when a monopoly lowers its price?
    Total revenue increases if the output effect is stronger than the price effect.
  • What happens to total revenue if the price effect outweighs the output effect when a monopoly lowers its price?
    Total revenue decreases if the price effect is stronger than the output effect.
  • Why is understanding the price and output effects important for monopolies?
    It helps monopolies manage pricing strategies to maximize revenue despite demand elasticity and diminishing marginal productivity.
