        Which of the following are accurate in an oligopoly with stable equilibrium?
        I. Marginal revenue is greater than marginal price.
        II. All companies are producing the same level of output.

        • I only
        • II only
        • Neither I nor II

          B) so the right answer is Neither I nor II ?

              Marginal revenue at equilibrium for any type of market is equal to marginal price. If marginal
              revenue is greater than marginal price, profit is less because of
              underproduction. If marginal revenue is less than marginal price,
              overproduction digs into profit.

              All companies don’t need to produce the same amount of
              output. For one, the companies may not be on the same scale, there may be
              significant underlying differences between them. Also, the level of output is
              also determined by how the companies play the price war game, their opportunity
              to lead, their level of aggressiveness.
