Answer:

The relationship between price, marginal revenue, and marginal cost for the scenario in the question = P > MR and MR = MC

This is because the marginal revenue of Monopoly firms is lesser than the price at all times.

Thus, a fall in price would mean that some revenue is forgone

For profit maximization, the marginal revenue is always equal to the marginal cost. Hence the reason for the expression above.
