Answer to Question 1

If marginal cost of production is assumed to be zero, the monopolist produces at the point where marginal revenue becomes zero. In case of positive marginal cost, the monopolist's profit maximizing output is obtained at the point where marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost. In either case, the corresponding price obtained from the demand curve becomes the market price.
