When a firm operates under conditions of monopoly its price is?

When a firm operates under conditions of monopoly, its price is typically higher than in competitive markets because the monopolist has significant control over the supply of the good or service. This firm can set the price above marginal cost to maximize profits, leading to reduced consumer surplus and potential market inefficiencies. Additionally, the lack of competition allows the monopolist to maintain this higher price without the threat of rival firms entering the market.
