Question
A monopolist has the following Demand and Marginal Revenue equations:
(where P = Price, Q = Quantity)
Assume that this monopoly is a profit maximizing firm who is only willing to sell each unit at the same price. Once the firm decides on an output level, the firm will face a certain value of own-price elasticity (Ed). Regardless of what the firm's MC and AC might be, which of the following values for own-price elasticity will the firm never face: (ChoosOne)
Ed = -1.99
Ed = -1.80
Ed = -1.65
Ed = -1.22
Ed = -1.00
Ed = -0.94
none of the above (i.e. this monopolist could face any of these values for Ed)
(Demand) P = 750 - 2Q (Marginal Revenue) MR = 750 - 4QExplanation / Answer
c.
Ed = -1.65
