MONOPOLY
The Word Monopoly is a Latin Term. ‘Mono’ means Single and ‘Poly’ means Seller.
Monopoly is a form of Market Organization in which there is only One Seller of the Commodity.
There are No Close Substitutes for the Commodity sold by the Seller.
Example : Indian Railways

DEFINITIONS According To 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.”
According To Baumol , “ A pure Monopoly is defined as the firm that is
also an industry. It is the only supplier of some particular commodity for which there exist no close substitutes.”
4
EXISTENCE OF MONOPOLY True monopolies generally exist in
government controlled markets. Ex. : Indian railway
Monopoly in private business is rare. Private firms who have considerable
market share.Like : Google
Microsoft Apple
5

MONOPOLY V/S
PERFECT COMPETITION Monopoly
Is the sole producer
Has a downward-sloping demand curve
Is a price maker
Reduces price to increase sales
Perfect competitive Firm Is one of many producers
Has a horizontal demand curve
Is a price taker
Sells as much or as little at same price

DEMAND AND REVENUE UNDER MONOPOLY
In a monopoly situation, there is no difference between firm & industry.
Under monopoly situation, firm’s demand curve also constitutes industry’s demand curve.
Demand curve of the monopolist is also average revenue curve.
It slopes downward. It means if the monopolist fixes high price, the demand will shrink or decrease. On the contrary, if he fixes low price, the demand will expand or increase.
Under monopoly, average revenue and marginal revenue curves are separate from one another. Both slope downwards.
Fig.1 will show average revenue (demand) curve & marginal revenue curve. Both are sloping downward. Marginal revenue curve is below average revenue or demand curve.
13
DEMAND AND REVENUE UNDER MONOPOLY
Demand curve of the monopolist is also average revenue (ARC) curve. It slopes downward. It means if the monopolist fixes high price, the demand will shrink.
P

E > 1 Increase In TR
E<1 (Decrease inTR)
E=1 (TR Maximum)

Demand rises with fall in price(AR) At point ‘N’ , total revenue will be maximum.( i.e. ,TR
= P x Q) Average revenue is never zero, but marginal revenue
may be zero or even negative At OP price, the monopolist will produce OQ quantity
of output, because this price affords him maximum total revenue.

PRICE DETERMINATION UNDER SHORT RUNA Monopolist in Equlibrium may face any of Three
Situations in the Short period .
1. Super Normal Profit
2. Normal Profit
3. Minimum Loss

In This Figure ,The Monopolist is in equilibrium at point E .
Because at this point MC=MR .
The Monopolist Produces OM Units & sell it at AM price
Thus in this Situation the super normal profit of the monopolist will be ABCD

In This Figure ,The Firm is in equilibrium at point E .
Where MC=MR & OM is the equilibrium output .
At this output AC Curve Touches Average Revenue(AM) curve at point A.
At point ‘A’ price OP (AM) is equal to the average Cost of the product .
Therefore firms earn only normal profit in equilibrium situation as at equilibrium output its AC=AR
17
MINIMUM LOSS
In this Figure , The monopolist is in equilibrium at point E , Where MC=MR & produces OM output.
The price of equilibrium output OM is fixed at OP1
(AM). At this Price The Average
Variable Cost(AVC) Curve Touches AR curve at point ‘A’.
At this situation the firm will get only AVC from the Prevailing Price
.The firm will bear the loss of fixed cost , AN per Unit.

PRICE DETERMINATION UNDER LONG RUN
In the Figure ,Point E Indicates the equilibrium of the monopolist .
At Point E, MR = LMC . Hence OM is the equilibrium Output & ON (=AM) is the equilibrium Price.BM is the long run average cost.
Price (Average Revenue ) AM is being more than long run average cost (AR > LAC), the Monopolist earn (AM –BM =AB) Super Normal Profit Per Unit.
The Firm’s Super Normal Profit will be ABPN as Shown by Shaded Area
