question on monopoly and monopsony

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is nobody in economics so i felt it necessary to post it here:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I understand that monopolistic MR is less than demand due to price reduction for increased sales. but when it comes to actual output, how is it that a monopoly can accomplish the demanded price on a certain quantity rather than the MR price? as in, it will produce the quantity at MR=MC, but the price at D. I figured the same issue of price reduction for the sake of increased quantity would apply here forcing them to either lower price or sell less, no?
