W as given in this article is not the consumer surplus (difference between the demand curve and the monopoly price) but it is actually the total or social surplus (difference between the demand curve and the cost). This article has been largely copied out again from Carlton-Perloff (Modern Industrial Organization, Harper Collins, 1994)). The mistake is in the book p. 872! Ruleof3 10:46, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
