Equilibrium price is where the equilibrium quantity line intersects demand curve. The equilibrium price and quantity is shown in figure as follows 4. 00 3. 50 loss monopoly. At the price of s2, quantity demanded is 1000: price 1000 quantity total revenue (s2x1000) total cost (s2. 75x1000) - (loss) (-) profit.
