Solution

The monopolist does not have a supply curve.

Here's why:

  1. A demand curve: Monopolists do have a demand curve. This curve shows the quantity of goods that consumers are willing to buy at different prices.

  2. A supply curve: In perfect competition, firms have a supply curve which shows the quantity of goods they are willing to supply at different prices. However, a monopolist does not have a supply curve because they set the price based on the demand and their marginal costs, not based on a relationship between the price and the quantity supplied.

  3. A marginal revenue curve: Monopolists do have a marginal revenue curve. This curve shows the change in total revenue that results from selling one more unit of the product.

  4. A marginal cost curve: Monopolists also have a marginal cost curve. This curve shows the change in total cost that results from producing one more unit of the product.

So, the correct answer is B. A supply curve.
