Marginal revenue is less than price of the product when the demand curve is downward sloping. E.g consider the case of monopoly or monopolistic competitive firm.
A monopolist faces a downward sloping demand curve. In order to sell one additional unit of good it has to reduce its price for all the units that it is selling (even for the previous units sold) and therefore marginal revenue stays less than price of the product.
When is the marginal revenue from making a sale less than the price of the product?
Question 15 For a perfectly competitive firm, price is less than marginal revenue at all output levels price exceeds marginal revenue at all output levels price is less than marginal revenue only at the profit-maximizing quantity price equals marginal revenue only at the profit-maximizing quantity price equals marginal revenue at all output levels

1.Value of marginal product differs from marginal revenue product in each of the following except __________. A. monopoly B. oligopoly C. perfect competition D. monopolistic competition 2.If the firm operates in markets that are not perfectly competitive, what will the price will tend to be? A. Equal to marginal revenue B. Less than marginal revenue C. Greater than marginal revenue D. The same as the competitive market 3.At every level of input, the marginal revenue product of the input equals...
For a monopolist, why is marginal revenue less than price for every level of output except the first?
The profit of a firm is maximized when: marginal cost is minimum. marginal revenue is less than marginal cost. marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost. marginal revenue is maximum. marginal revenue is greater than marginal cost.
if a firm is in monopolistic competition, then their marginal revenue: will be less than the price will be above the price O will be the same as price will be the same as marginal cost no matter how much is produced. the firm will expand and earn larger and larger profits. O profits will continue because barriers to entry are high. other firms will imitate the firm, causing their cost to increase until price is equal to average cost...
(1) (2) (3) (4) Units of Quantity of Product Factor X Output Price Marginal Revenue Product 0 $12 o 1 10 $12 (A) 2 18 $12 (B) 3 25 $12 (C) 28 $12 (D) price, thus we are dealing with a(n) The data show that marginal revenue is competitive firm.
