The average cost is calculated by dividing the total cost by the output produced. When the monopolist is producing 8 units then the total cost is $21. So, the average cost of producing 8 units is 21/8 = $2.625 (or $2.63 approximately).
The marginal cost is defined as the additional cost incurred to produce one more unit of a good. It is calculated as the change in total cost when one more unit is produced. So, the marginal cost of producing the 8th unit is $21 - $19 which equals $2.
Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option B'.

A profit-maximizing monopolist will continue expanding output as long as: o marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost. o marginal revenue is positive. o the cost of producing an additional unit exceeds the marginal revenue derived from the unit. o economic profit is more than zero.
