What is the value of the MR when the demand curve is elastic?
उत्तर
When demand curve is elastic (ed > 1), then according to the relationship `MR =P(1-1/e_d) `, the fraction `1/e_d` will be less than 1.
Hence, MR will be positive when `P (1-1/e_d)` is positive.

Comment on the shape of MR curve in case when TR curve is a positively sloped straight line.
List the three different ways in which oligopoly firms may behave.
If duopoly behaviour is one that is described by Cournot, the market demand curve is given by the equation q = 200 − 4p and both the firms have zero costs, find the quantity supplied by each firm in equilibrium and the equilibrium market price.
What is meant by prices being rigid? How can oligopoly behaviour lead to such an outcome?
