To answer the question we need to compare cost of production and revenue; more specifically marginal cost and marginal revenue. Demand curve of a monopolist firm is downward sloping to the right. In order to increase sales a monopolistic need to decrease price. Such reduction in price will

Continue to the point of unit elasticity of the demand curve. Because below the point reduction in sales price will not generate sufficient revenue to ensure profit maximization Since a natural monopolistic desire to maximize profit, the maximum profit is attainable where its marginal revenue equals its marginal cost i.e MC=MR. That exactly will be the point of output and price of a monopolistic

At E, where MC intersect MR equilibrium of the maximum amount is found. Any move from E will loss some profit. Price is at G above E, and since P is above AC, the maximized profit is a positive profit. BLUE coloured zone.
