IF regulation imposes marginal cost pricing on natural monopoly then the monopoly will?

When the regulating agency forces this firm to set its price at marginal cost, we have
marginal cost pricing. MONOPOLY WILL LOSS. The whole point of government involvement here relates to the fact that regulators wanted to make things more efficient. However, achieving this particular type of efficiency causes the firm to eventually exit the industry -- leaving consumers with nothing.Therefore, to prevent the firm from leaving, our regulator must also allow the monopolist to cover her losses. One way to do this is by subsidizing the monopolist the amount of her loss.
