Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Question 2

The authors claim that monopolists will tend to practice stronger conservation of depletable resources than would occur under a perfectly competitive market structure. Why is this true?

A) Monopolists are typically taxed at higher rates than competitive firms, so they will tend to reduce output and revenues in order to minimize their tax expenditures.
B) The profit-maximizing decisions of a monopolist tend to generate lower output levels than under perfect competition, so the resource is depleted at a slower rate by the monopolist.
C) Common property resource problems do not arise when there is only one seller.
D) The lower depletion rate used by monopolists serves as a barrier to entry.
