By using a bit of calculus, you should be able to determine that the firm's marginal revenue is MR = 20 - 2Q and its marginal cost is MC = 2Q. Now suppose that the country in which this monopolist is located decides to engage in international trade. The world price of the product produced by the monopolist is $12.
