Solution
Without the figure, it's impossible to definitively answer this question. However, in a single-price monopoly, the equilibrium price and output are determined by where the monopolist's marginal cost (MC) curve intersects with the market demand curve. This point is where the monopolist maximizes its profit.
If the options are referring to points on a graph:
- If P and Q is where the MC curve intersects with the demand curve, then the answer would be "cP and Q".
- If P' and Q' is where the MC curve intersects with the demand curve, then the answer would be "bP' and Q'".
Remember, in a monopoly there is no competition, so the monopolist can set the price at a level where they maximize profit. Therefore, the statement "there is no equilibrium under monopoly" is not correct.
