Define marginal revenue-marginal cost-market price

Reference no: EM13177031

In order to maximize profits, monopolies produce where: MARGINAL REVENUE = MARGINAL COST < MARKET PRICE. Contrast this to the profit maximization condition for perfectly competitive markets and explain how these differences contribute to deadweight loss in a monopoly market. Can you think of reasons why a monopoly might decide on their own to increase production and lower prices to earn an acceptable profit rather than maximize profits?
