Yes. A monopolist would tend to charge a price closer to fair market value when the demand for a good is elastic. If not demand would be affected.
With a monopoly controlled inelastic good the consumer has no recourse and there for would be and the mercy of the supplier.
The monopolist's demand curve is typically inelastic, meaning that changes in price do not have a significant impact on the quantity demanded by consumers.
Perfectly inelastic demand, perfectly elastic demand, elastic demand, inelastic demand etc.
(A) A monopolist produces on the inelastic portion of its demand. This is true because a monopolist maximizes profit where marginal revenue equals marginal cost, and inelastic demand allows the monopolist to raise prices without losing too many customers. However, (B) is not necessarily true, as a monopolist can incur losses in the short run, and (C) is incomplete, but typically, the more inelastic the demand, the closer marginal revenue will be to price.

Perfectly elastic demand. Relative elastic demand. Unit elasticity of demand. Relative inelastic demand. Perfectly inelastic demand.
Highly elastic.
there are five types.1).perfect elastic demand,2)perfect inelastic demand,3).relatively elastic demand,4).relatively inelastic demand4).unity elastic demand
marginal revenue is negative where demand is inelastic
Inelastic Demand & Elastic Demand
when price changes it is called inelastic demand and when quantity of demand change that is called elastic of demand.
