Option b. Reduce its price. The monopolist can raise the revenue by reducing the price because it will increase the selling. But, the monopolist can't produces more output because the marginal revenue from additional unit of production will be less than the earlier charge for additional unit as there is downward sloping demand curve.

Suppose a firm has market power and faces a downward-sloping demand curve for its product, and its marginal cost curve is upward sloping. If the firm reduces its price, then A. producer surplus increases due to new buyers, but the producer surplus from existing customers declines due to the lower price. B. the sum of producer and consumer surplus remains the same, but surplus value is transferred from the producer to consumers. C. the change in producer surplus is transferred...

1. A firm faces a downward-sloping linear demand (a) What is the firm's marginal revenue if the firm is i. a perfectly competitive firm? ii. a monopolist that can set a uniform price? ii. a monopolist that can perfectly price discriminate?

QUESTION 9 The perfectly competitive firm faces a downward sloping demand curve. constant marginal costs. a horizontal supply function. perfectly elastic demand. QUESTION 10 The short-run industry supply curve slopes up because the law of diminishing marginal product applies in the short run. wages increase as the industry increases output. the firms eventually experience diseconomies of scale. the higher price is needed to get more firms to enter the industry.
