Answer:

High price and low output, relative to ideal market efficiency

Explanation:

An unregulated monopolist will most likely charge a higher price in a bid to maximize its profit since the company would be the only producer of its output in the market it operates. In a bid to keep prices high, the monopolist will keep output (supply) lower than market demand leading to a scarcity and an inadvertent increase in the price of its output.

On the other hand, in an ideal market efficiency, prices are likely to be low as multiple producers produce high volume of output causing supply to be higher than demand.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

B. the highest valued alternative that must be given up to engage in an activity.

Explanation:

Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative foregone while choosing an alternative.

Eg1: If I like Chapati more than rice & rice more than curd, the opportunity cost of consuming chapati is the next best option i.e rice.

Eg2 : Working as school teacher with salary 20000, next best option salary as coaching tutor i.e 10000 is the Opportunity Cost

A is inapt : Opportunity cost can be monetary or non monetary. Eg2 has monetary opportunity cost. But, Eg 1 has opportunity cost in terms of rice' (sacrifised) satisfaction.

C is inapt : Opportunity cost is only the cost of next best alternative & not all alternatives. Eg1 - Curd i.e 3rd best option after chapati, is not the opportunity cost after chapati.
