Consider the special case of a monopoly in which mc = 0. let's find the firm's best choice when more goods can be produced at no extra cost. a great deal of e-commerce is close to this model, where the fixed cost of inventing the product and satisfying government regulators is the only cost that matters. consider a monopoly facing the following demand curve and fixed costs: p = 120 – 12q; fixed costs = 1,000 should the firm go into business? if so, how much should the firm produce?

No, because of loss.

Explanation:

Given that it is a case of monopoly where, MC = 0

Demand curve: P = 120 - 12Q

Fixed Cost (FC) = 1,000

profit maximizing condition for a monopolist, MR = MC

Total Revenue(TR) = PQ = 120Q - 12Q²

Marginal Revenue(MR) =

                                      = 120 - 24Q

Now, MR = MC

120 - 24Q = 0

Q = 5 units

P = 120 - 12 × 5 = $60

Profit/ Loss = TR - FC [ ∴ TR = 300]

= 300 - 1000

= -700

So, there is loss incurred if the firm go into the business.
