Monopoly

The monopoly is the type of market structure that there is only one seller that produces a unique product. There are high barriers to entry, the price of the product is determined by the seller because there is no competition or close substitutes. Monopolies have specific sources that allow them to have power in the market. These Include :

Topic 1 - Perfect Competition & Oligopoly


Perfect Competition 


The perfect competition market structure is where different sellers sell similar products resulting in the prices being in equilibrium !  Any increase in price will result in a decrease in the quality demanded of that product and buyers  of the good will buy more from the competition.  Let's consider an example


Ex1.  John always buys the Grace coconut milk because he thought that it had the best quality and its price was the same the Lasco brand.  The price of the Grace coconut milk increased and John started buying the Lasco brand.


Deduction
Generally, most consumers think this way in any market economy where there is a perfect competition. Any shift in price will from one competitor will affect sales.  Therefore, prices remains in constant equilibrium.Any increase in price will affect the equilibrium
