2. WHAT IS MONOPOLY?
A situation of market in which there is a single seller of a product with no close substitutes and there are barriers to entry and producer is price maker
DEFINITIONS
Koutsoyiannis, “Monopoly is a market situation in which there is a single seller, there are no close substitutes for commodity it produces, there are barriers to entry”.
Ferguson, “A pure monopoly exists when there is only one producer in a market. There are no direct competitors”

3. FEATURES OF MONOPOLY One Seller and Large Number of Buyers.
Monopoly is also an Industry.
Restrictions on the Entry of the New Firms.
No close Substitutes
Price Maker

4. DEMAND AND REVENUE UNDER MONOPOLY
Both AR & MR slopes downwards. But slope of MR is double the slope of AR. Average revenue is never zero but marginal revenue may be zero or even negative.

5. DETERMINATION OF PRICE AND OUTPUT UNDER MONOPOLY
A monopoly is in equilibrium when the monopolist produces that amount of output which yields him maximum total profit and in short period when he incurs minimum loss. It is determined by two different approaches.
Total Revenue and Marginal Cost Analysis.
Marginal Revenue and Marginal Cost Analysis.

6. Total Revenue and Total Cost Curve Analysis
Monopolist can earn maximum profit at selling that amount of output at which point difference between total revenue and total cost is maximum.

7. MARGINAL REVENUE AND MARGINAL
COST ANALYSIS
A monopolist will be in equilibrium when two conditions are fulfilled.
MC = MR
MC curve cuts MR curve from below.
Point ‘E’ is an equilibrium point where MC=MR and MC curve cuts MR curve from below.

8. PRICE AND EQUILIBRIUM DETERMIANTION UNDER MONOPOLY
1. Short Period Long Period

9. SUPER NORMAL PROFIT
AR > AC
MR=MC
MC cuts MR from below

10. NORMAL PROFIT
AR=AC
MR=MC
MC cuts MR from below

11. MINIMUM LOSS
AR < AC
MR = MC
MC Cuts MR from below

12. DETERMINATION OF LONG RUN EQUILIBRIUM
AR>LAC
LMC=MR
LMC Cuts MR from below
