In normal demand curve, AR is equal to price and so it falls as output increases since the price has to be lowered in order to sell more products.

What happens if demand curve interacts with the supply curve?
Then demand and supply are equal.
How can a company have a downward demand curve but still have marginal revenue equal price?
If the Demand Curve is separate from the MR=P curve, the company can not be of Perfect Competition. It can exist in any other market structure: Monopolistic Competition, Monopoly, or Imperfect Competition. In each of these three structures, the Demand Curve will always fall twice as fast as the MP=P=AR Curve. To answer your question in these terms, the company can have a downward sloping Demand Curve separate from the MR=P curve if it is not in the PC Market Structure.
What happens when the slope of the total revenue curve is equal to the slope of the total cost curve?
a. monopoly profit is maximized. b. marginal revenue equals marginal cost. c. the marginal cost curve intersects the total average cost curve. d. the total cost curve is at its minimum. e. Both A and B
Discuss equilibrium of a firm under monopoly what are the conditions of equilibrium?
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
Is the price elasticity constant along the demand curve?
Price elasticity of demand is equal to the instantaneous slope of the demand curve, or the slope of the tangent line at any point on the demand curve. So if the demand curve is represented by a straight downward sloping line, then yes, price elasticity of demand is equal to the slope of the demand curve. Otherwise, the slope at any point on the curve is changing, and you can find the it by taking the derivative of the demand curve function, which will find the Price elasticity of demand at any single point. Thus, the Price Elasticity of Demand changes at different points on the demand curve.

What demand curve indicates the firm incurs a loss?
It's when the MR is not equal to MC. The firm in this case is unable to produce output the equals marginal revenue to marginal cost.
What is the relationship between marginal utility curve and demand curve?
both are equal and complement to each other
What does a perfectly elastic demand curve mean?
it is the graphic representation of the changes in demand due to the availability of equal important substitude.
When can monopolist earn an economic profit?
A monopolist earns economic profit when the price charged is greater than their average total cost. To maximize profits, monopolies will produce at the output where marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue. To determine the price they will set, they choose the price on the demand curve that corresponds to this level of production.
What happens to price if the demand increases?
The price rise.With respect to classical economics (all things being equal) there are two possible situations which represent price increases:An increase in price due to supply side factors (generally the cost of inputs or the cost of labour) the supply curve increases (moves upwards) and intersects with the demand curve at a higher price. In this case the demand curve is not affected. Only the supply curve has risen.An increase in demand (due to changing market pressures). In this case the demand curve has increased (risen) and now intersect the supply curve at a higher position. In this case the demand curve is higher than it was previously.
Are marginal revenue average revenue and price are all equal for a monopolist?
No, in a monopolistic market, marginal revenue is less than average revenue and price. This is because the monopolist must lower the price in order to sell more units, leading to a decline in revenue per unit.
When is the LM curve relatively steep?
If money demand has low sensitivity to change in interest rate,the interest rate would have to rise by a large amount to reduce the demand for real balance back to the fixed leveli.e the level at which demand for money is equal to supply of money.Accordingly,the LM curve would be quite steep
