Assume a monopolist with downward sloping demand and marginal revenue (MR) curves. The monopolist operates with standard marginal cost (MC) and average total cost (ATC) curves. How does a monopolist determine the profit-maximizing output level and the corresponding profit-maximizing price? A. The output level occurs where MR-MC and price is determined from the demand curve at this output level OB. The output level occurs where Demand=MC and price is determined from the marginal revenue curve at this output level. OC. Both the output level and price are found where MR = MC. OD. Both the output level and price are found where Demand = MC.
