单选题 Which of the following statements regarding a monopolist is most accurate?
  • A. A monopolist will maximize the average profit per unit sold.
  • B. If a firm has a monopoly, it will always be able to earn economic profits.
  • C. A monopolist, like any other profit-maximizing firm, will sell at the output level where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】The demand curve for monopolists slopes downward to the right reflecting the fact that a higher price results in lower demand. Monopolists maximize profits by expanding output until marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
