1 11 C H A P T E R Pure Monopoly

2 FOUR MARKET MODELS Pure Monopoly: Single Seller No Close Substitutes
Price Maker Blocked Entry Nonprice Competition Market Structure Continuum Pure Competition Monopoly Monopolistic Oligopoly

3 MONOPOLY EXAMPLES Pure Monopoly Regulated Monopoly Near Monopolies
Dual Objectives of the Study Monopoly as a Market Structure To Better Understand Other Market Structures

4 BARRIERS TO ENTRY Economies of Scale Legal Barriers to Entry
The Natural Monopoly Case Legal Barriers to Entry Patents Licenses Ownership or Control of Essential Resources Pricing and Other Strategic Barriers to Entry

5 ATC THE NATURAL MONOPOLY CASE
$20 15 ATC Average Total Cost 10 If ATC declines over extended output, least-cost production is realized only if there is one producer - a natural monopoly 50 100 200 Quantity

6 MONOPOLY DEMAND 3 Basic Assumptions: Monopoly Status is Secure
No Governmental Regulation Firm Charges the Same Price for all Units Sold Market Demand Curve is the Firm’s Demand Curve

7 MONOPOLY DEMAND P As price decreases from $142 to $132...
but revenue will increase with the additional unit sold $142 132 Loss = $30 D Gain = $132 Q

8 MONOPOLY DEMAND Marginal Revenue $142 - $30 = $102 will necessarily be
As price decreases from $142 to $132... but revenue will increase with the additional unit sold $142 132 Loss = $30 Marginal Revenue $142 - $30 = $102 will necessarily be less than price $132 D Gain = $132 Q

9 MONOPOLY REVENUES & COSTS
Revenue Data Cost Data Quantity of Output Price (Average Revenue) Average Total Cost Profit + or loss - Total Revenue Marginal Revenue Total Cost Marginal Cost x $172 = $ 0 - $100 = - $100

10 MONOPOLY REVENUES & COSTS
Revenue Data Cost Data Quantity of Output Price (Average Revenue) Average Total Cost Profit + or loss - Total Revenue Marginal Revenue Total Cost Marginal Cost 1 $172 $172 162 $ 0 $ 0 162 $100 190 $100 - $100 - $100 - 28 ] $162 ] 90 x = - $190.00 = MR = $162 – 0 = $162 MC = $190 – 100 = $90 MR > MC Loss Improvement from -$100 to -$28 Check next unit of output!
