Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The statement is correct. Only when the demand is elastic is marginal revenue positive. (When demand is unit elastic, marginal revenue is zero and when demand is inelastic marginal revenue is negative.) Because marginal cost is always positive, a single-price monopoly will always produce in the elastic range of the demand because it produces where marginal cost equals marginal revenue. Hence the price that the monopoly sets will always be on the elastic range of the demand.
