    Help with maximizing profit
    Hello, Can anyone give me a start on this? I have no clue.

    A monopolist has determined that marginal revenue is $2.00 and average cost is $1.75. It has also determined that the lowest sustainable average cost is $1.75. To maximize profit, should the firm lower its price, increase its price, or leave the price unchanged? How would you change your response if marginal revenue is $1.50? Explain your responses.

    I'd lower the price but I really want to know about the elasticity of demand otherwise I might be throwing away profit for nothing
