Answer:

A

Explanation:

-Both firms maximize the profit equating the marginal revenue (MR) with the marginal cost (MC). i) Is correct

-MR is equal to the price, but not in the monopoly. The monopolist can planify and impose the price. Then ii) is incorrect

-MR is the difference between the increment in the revenue, is not equal with demand. iii) is incorrect

- Average revenue (AR) = Price (P)

AR= Revenue/Quantity

AR= P x Q / Q

AR= P    -------------------------> iv) Is correct!
