MARGINAL REVENUE CURVE, MONOPOLY: A curve that graphically represents the relation between marginal revenue received by a monopoly for selling its output and the quantity of output sold. The marginal revenue curve reflects the market control held by a monopoly firm. For a monopoly firm with complete market control, the marginal revenue curve is negatively-sloped. Moreover, for a given quantity of output, marginal cost is less than price, and the marginal revenue curve lies below the demand curve.

- The equality between marginal utilities is a handy short cut for making choices.
- If one good generates more marginal utility that the other, then total utility can be increased by consuming more of that good and less of the other.
- A simple rule is to choose the quantities of two or more goods such that marginal utility of the last unit of each good consumed is the same for all goods.
- MU of good 1 = MU of good 2

ASSUMPTION An initial condition or statement of a model or theory that sets the stage for an analysis by abstracting from the real world. Assumptions are important to economic analysis.

Other assumptions are used as control conditions that are subsequently changed to evaluate the consequences.
