B. Given that the monopolist wants to maximise profits, what price will it charge, and how many units will it produce?
C. What would be the quantity of output that would maximise total surplus?
D. Explain why this monopolist’s profit-maximising quantity is or is not equal to the quantity that maximises total surplus.
