Generally yes. In a monopoly they charge whatever price they choose because there is no competition.
Governments go to great lengths to limit the impact of monopolies. In theory they have complete control over the price but consumer consternation could lead to price regulation in sensitive areas.
What else can I help you with?
A perfectly competitive firm will produce more output and change a lower price than a single price monopoly firm. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
I agree with the statement. A perfectly competitive firm operates where price equals marginal cost, leading to an efficient allocation of resources and typically resulting in a higher output at a lower price than a monopoly. In contrast, a single-price monopoly maximizes profit by producing less output and charging a higher price, leading to decreased consumer surplus and potential market inefficiencies. Thus, perfect competition generally results in greater output and lower prices compared to monopoly scenarios.
Is a monopoly a price setter?
Yes, a monopoly is a price setter. Unlike firms in competitive markets that are price takers and must accept the market price, a monopoly has significant control over the price of its product because it is the sole provider in the market. This allows the monopolist to set prices at a level that maximizes its profits, typically above marginal cost, leading to reduced output and higher prices for consumers compared to competitive markets.
What is the deadweight loss formula for a monopoly and how does it impact market efficiency?
The deadweight loss formula for a monopoly is the difference between the price that consumers are willing to pay and the price that the monopoly charges, multiplied by the quantity of goods not traded. This results in a loss of economic efficiency because the monopoly restricts output and charges higher prices, leading to a reduction in consumer surplus and overall welfare in the market.
Why monopoly is allocatively inefficient relative to perfectly competitive market?
A monopoly produces at a point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost, they don't charge this price, but charge a higher price that corresponds with the demand they face. Therefore they produce less and charge more than a competitive firm that equates the price to marginal cost.
What are two examples of continuously selling above the market price?

Why you would expect a monopoly to charge a a higher price than an industry operating under perfect competition?
If a company holds a monopoly, consumers are focred to pucharse its goods and services. As consumers do not have an alternative, the company can charge higher and higher prices without losing its customers (becuase they don't have anywhere else to go!).

How does the monopoly graph illustrate the concept of consumer surplus?
The monopoly graph shows the area between the demand curve and the price line, which represents consumer surplus. Consumer surplus is the difference between what consumers are willing to pay for a good or service and what they actually pay. In a monopoly, the higher price set by the monopolist reduces consumer surplus compared to a competitive market where prices are lower.
