Part A

Imagine that it is the year 2199. Technology has progressed
at an incredible pace. The latest discovery is the plutonium engine, which is
capable of converting plutonium, a by-product of nuclear fission, into fuel to
power the nuclear reactors in our new form of transportation, the rocket-car.
However, because the firm that invented the engine, the Futures Unlimited
Corporation, already has a government license to control and distribute the
quantity of this certain isotope of plutonium on the market, it is now
conceivably in charge of a monopoly on plutonium-fueled transportation.

1. 
Describe the economic outcome of this
single-price monopoly in terms of profit. Provide one (1) supporting fact to
support your response.

2. 
Describe one (1) way that the Futures Unlimited
Corporation makes output and price decisions.
