Since Marginal revenue refers to the additional revenue earned by a monopolist by increasing the sale by 1 unit ( usually through lowering the price ), the additional revenue earned will always be less since there has been a drop in price.
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.
Demand.
The pure monopolist's market situation differs from that of a competitive firm in that the monopolist's demand curve is downsloping, causing the marginal-revenue curve to lie below the demand curve. Like the competitive seller, the pure monopolist will maximize profit by equating marginal revenue and marginal cost. Barriers to entry may permit a monopolist to acquire economic profit even in the long run.
This question reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of supply and demand. Marginal revenue and average revenue are related to a firm's cost function, and are thus connected to SUPPLY. They have nothing to do with a demand curve in classical economics, which is the marginal benefit to the CONSUMER of being in the market.
Marginal Revenue = Marginal Cost; mark-up price to the demand curve.

Firms in most cases opt to select prices in the elastic regions of their demand curve. This fact explains why marginal revenue curve is always below.

when marginal revenue equal to marginal cost,when marginal cost curve cut marginal revenue curve from the below and when price is greter than average total cost
Marginal utility is the key concept underline demand .The height of a demand curve reflects marginal utility.The marginal utility curve resembles the demand curve. So, it is through the marginal utility we get the demand 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 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)
Because for a perfectly competetive firm since the demand curve is perfectly elastic even a slightest price change doesnt add any further demand..so there is no change in marinal revenue also.Since revenue is demand multiplied with cost of unit..the two curves are same.
Explain why the marginal revenue(MR) is always less than the average revenue (AR)?
