True of False: A monopolist selling cars in New York finds it unprofitable to raise price by 10% above the current level. Thus, the relevant market is cars in New York.
1. The table shows the demand schedule of a monopolist. Calculate marginal revenue and fill in the revenue column in the table. Assume that output can only be sold in integer amounts (i.e., 1 unit, 2 units, etc.).
2. Once you have filled in marginal revenue, identify the quantity produced by the monopolist in this market.
Currently, a monopolist’s profit-maximizing output is 400 units per week and it sells its output at a price of $60 per unit. The firm’s total costs are $10,000 per week. The firm is maximizing its profit, and it earns $40 in extra revenue from the sale of the last unit produced each week.What are the firm's weekly economic profits?

- Draw a monopolists demand curve, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves. Identify the monopolists profit-maximizing output level. Now, think about a slightly higher level of output (sayQ0+1).
