Monopolist's profit maximizing level of output is 3

Q=3

Step-by-step explanation

We shall compute the Total revenue and Marginal revenue table as well to clarify.

Total Revenue = Price x output

Marginal Revenue = TR2-TR1 (Increment in total revenue due to one extra unit production)

Monopolist will produce at MR=MC level.

Here we can observe that the MR=MC =3 level is output = 3
