Question 2

  A) Without competition from other firms, monopolies are less efficient and the marginal product of labor is lower at each level of output.
  B) Although the marginal product of labor may be the same under both market structures, the marginal revenue of the monopoly declines with output.
  C) Monopolists have less incentive to invest in worker training and other methods for improving labor productivity, so the marginal product of labor is lower in the monopoly case.
