a quick question just checking up on what i think is right
in a natural monopoly,
avg fixed costs continually fall
marginal cost=variable cost, ie constant amout to supply another person, e.g $10 to supply another person
therefore, is marginal revenue constantly rising due to the falling afc and constant mc?

thanks for help

correction, MC approaches VC as AFC keeps getting smaller, so yeah MR then rises as costs continually fall ?

LOL i forgot all of this first year stuff.

but i know that for a monopoly, it produces the quantity where MR=MC and priced at where where Q = demand.

and the other stuff im pretty sure is correct for a natural monopoly where you have to remember that it is cheaper for the market to have only one producer than two.
