Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the monopoly operates at an output level less than Q0, then there is excess demand for the product, and the price is likely to be high. An increase in output towards Q0, but not exceeding it, would lead to a decrease in the price but would still result in higher total surplus as the increase in output would benefit both consumers and the producer. Therefore, an increase in output would lower the price and raise total surplus. So, option B is the correct answer.
