Answer:
d. the oligopolists earn the highest profit when they cooperate and behave like a monopolist.
Explanation:
An oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry.
When oligopoly firms come together and agree to set a price, they are known as cartels and are acting as a monopoly. Firms in a cartel earn the highest profit because they act as a monopoly compared to when they aren't in a cartel and each firm sets their own prices to maximise profit. In a case where firms in an oligopoly do not form a cartel, they engage in price wars and other forms of competition which might make firms earn lower profits compared to when they are in a cartel.
Collusive agreements aren't always binding. Firms might have incentives to cheat on the agreement if the payoff from cheating is higher than not cheating.

2. Safe and 3. Easy to buy
While savings bonds are tax exempt for state and local purposes, you will pay federal income tax when you redeem the savings bond (1. no taxes).

They are not matched deposits (4. matched deposits). While you may receive them as gifts, you cannot redeem these gifts for a number of years, making them non-fungible (5. Great as gifts). Finally, there is a myth that these are good for the United States government but really they are merely backed and protected by the United States government as a savings mechanism. Saving is good for the US economy but does not have a truly meaningful impact on the US government.
Answer:
Lies below its demand curve and is steeper than its demand curve.
Explanation:
The marginal revenue curve for a monopolist lies below the demand curve because of the quantity effect. The quantity effect refers to the fact that even a monopolist must lower its price if it wants to sell a larger quantity of goods or services.
The slope of the marginal revenue curve is steeper than the demand curve because it reflects the market power of the monopolist. Instead, the marginal revenue curve for a perfectly competitive firm (with 0 market power) is horizontal or perfectly elastic.
