Why do the demand and marginal revenue curves coincide?
Because in Pure Competition, Demand equals Price, and Price equals Marginal Revenue;hence, Demand equals Marginal revenue.
Why is it that firms can earn profits in the long run in monopoly and oligopoly but not in monopolistic competition and perfect competition?
Because monopolistically competitive firms have an optimal production allocation at monopoly values: marginal revenue = marginal cost, marking-up to the demand function. When competition is not perfect, marginal revenue does not equal demand but is always below it on a Cartesian plane, so the optimal production value of a monopolistically competitive firm is both less and at a higher price than a perfectly competitive one.
Why is the marginal revenue curve the same as its demand curve?
The marginal revenue curve describes the incremental change in revenue (that is, price*units sold). The MR is not always equivalent to its demand curve. The more perfect competition is, the closer demand approaches the MR. This is because, in perfect competition, firms sell at the MC = MR = P criterion. In the opposite case, monopoly, MR always lies under of demand, and firms achieve monopoly profits by choosing a production quantity where MC = MR and charging a price mark-up.
When demand is perfectly elastic what happens to marginal revenue?
When Demand is perfectly elastic, Marginal Revenue is identical with price.
Relationship between Marginal revenue and Demand curve?
marginal revenue always lies behind the demand curve,and when demand increases marginal revenue also increases.demand curve is used to determine price of a commodity.

How to use the concept of price elasticity of demand to maximize revenue?
Price elasticity of demand is a way to determine marginal revenue. Optimal revenue and, more importantly, optimal profit will occur to the point when marginal revenue = marginal cost, or the price elasticity of demand < 1.
What is the marginal revenue of a monopolist is?
The marginal revenue of a monopolist is the additional revenue generated from selling one more unit of a good or service. Unlike in perfect competition, a monopolist faces a downward-sloping demand curve, which means that to sell more units, it must lower the price on all units sold. As a result, marginal revenue is less than the price at which the additional unit is sold. This relationship is key to understanding a monopolist's pricing and output decisions.
Why does a Perfect Competition firms demand curve is also its marginal revenue curve?
AnswerFor a perfectly competitive firm with no market control, the marginal revenue curve is a horizontal line. Because a perfectly competitive firm is a price taker and faces a horizontal demand curve, its marginal revenue curve is also horizontal and coincides with its average revenue (and demand) curve. Yes - what you must remember is that a firm's demand curve in perfect competition is its average revenue curve. Average revenue = price x quantity / quantity = price. The demand curve shows the quantity demanded at varying prices and this is exactly what the average revenue curve will do.Because there are so many sellers in the market, no one firm has enough market power to influence price (if a firm tried to raise price consumers would move to different suppliers; nobody would buy the good), therefore price is determined by industry supply and demand, and a firm can produce any quantity at this price . This means that the firm faces a horizontal average revenue (demand curve) and if average revenue is constant, this means total revenue is increasing at a constant rate, and therefore marginal revenue is constant as well.
Profit maxiamisation in a perfect economy?
Profit maximization occurs when the firm produces /sets their price at the intersection of the marginal cost curve and the horizontal MR DARP curve (marginal revenue, demand, average revenue, price)
How can one calculate marginal revenue from a demand curve?
To calculate marginal revenue from a demand curve, you can find the slope of the demand curve at a specific quantity using calculus or by taking the first derivative of the demand function. The marginal revenue is then equal to the price at that quantity minus the slope of the demand curve multiplied by the quantity.
What is the relationship between price elasticity of demand and the monopolist's revenue?
marginal revenue is negative where demand is inelastic
Under perfect competition is average revenue curve elastic or inelastic?
Under Perfect Competition the demand curve is perfectly elastic. I don't know if that helps but it might
