above P2.

Refer to the diagram. At the profit-maximizing level of output, the firm will realize

an economic profit of ABHJ

an economic profit that could be increased by producing more output.

Which of the graphs above would reflect a Monopolist in the long run? wrong

marginal revenue.

pure competition

If a monopolist were to produce in the inelastic segment of its demand curve,
