3

Refer to the monopoly market graph. The monopolist can maximize profit by producing

The responsiveness or sensitivity of a firm's profits to changes in output is measured by a firm's.

True

Refer to the above diagram. If the market price is 35, then a profit-maximizing competitive firm with these short-run unit cost curves

Will produce output and will make economic losses.
