1. Marginal revenue from selling 5th shirt = $130.

2. In monopoly firm can sell till its MR becomes equal to MC which in this case in $100.

Therefore at 8th unit MR becomes equal to MC at $100, hence till 8th unit monopolist can produce.

3. Total revenue when 3 shirts are sold = 170 + 160 + 150 => $ 480.

4. For single price monopolist will sell all output at single price, hence its total revenue = 3 * 150 => $ 450.

5. Revenue difference = 480 - 450 => $ 30.
