Answer to Question 1

a. To maximize profits, the monopoly will produce the quantity where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. So, the monopoly will produce 15 units and charge a price of 32.
b. Its marginal revenue curve is now a flat line at 25, running from the vertical axis to the demand curve, so the monopoly will produce 26 units and charge a price of 25.
c. The quantity demanded at a price of 25 is 34, but the quantity supplied is only 26, so there will be a shortage of 8 units, and some consumers will not be able to buy the product.
