| | Monopoly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The monopoly's profit is its total revenue less its total cost. | | | In this way the monopoly will secure monopoly profits by appropriating some or all of the consumer surplus, as although the higher price deters some consumers from purchasing, most are willing to pay the higher price. | | | Monopoly should be distinguished from monopsony, in which there is only one buyer of the product or service; it should also, strictly, be distinguished from the (similar) phenomenon of a cartel. |

| | Monopoly - MSN Encarta |
| | A monopoly company, like any other business, confronts two forces: (1) a set of demand conditions for the commodity or service it produces; and (2) a set of cost conditions that governs how much it has to pay to those who supply the resources and labor required to produce its product. | | | Every business firm must adjust its production to the point at which it is able to maximize its profit—that is, the difference between the revenue it receives from its sales and the costs it incurs in producing the amount sold. | | | Another practice associated with monopoly is price discrimination, which involves charging a different price for the same goods or services to different segments of the same market. |

| | Monopoly, by George J. Stigler: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty |
| | He then earns monopoly profits (what economists call "economic rent") of $2 per unit ($7 minus his $5 cost, which, again, includes a competitive rate of return on investment) times 200, or $400 a year. | | | But if the monopoly is in fact more profitable than competitive enterprises, economists expect that other entrepreneurs will enter the business to capture some of the higher returns. | | | Just being a monopoly need not make an enterprise more profitable than other enterprises that face competition: the market may be so small that it barely supports one enterprise. |

| | The monopoly profits (light blue in the graph) are the difference between price ($55) and average total cost ($44.44) times the number of units sold. | | | The monopoly quantity is less than the competitive quantity for markets with the same cost and demand structure. | | | These monopoly profits provide the incentive to invest in the research and development required to create the new drug. |

| | Monopoly |
| | Local telephone and cable-television companies are examples — they are usually provided a monopoly by their local governmental officials — that is, they are made the only provider of the service in a certain locale — and competition is prohibited by the local governing body. | | | Obviously, this is not a monopoly arising in a free market since it is the government not the market that is dictating the number of suppliers. | | | Competitors and left-wing university professors are prone to call such firms "monopolies." But they are mistaken — the market-share positions that these firms earn are entirely a consequence of efficient firm management and consumer satisfaction. |

| | Natural Monopoly |
| | A "natural monopoly" is defined in economics as an industry where the fixed cost of the capital goods is so high that it is not profitable for a second firm to enter and compete. | | | There is an "entry monopoly" in which entry into the industry is impossible unless one transfers a titles from one of the existing firms. | | | Another way to handle the natural monopoly is to periodically put the delivery service up for bidding, with the lowest cost firm getting the contract. |

| | Monopoly prices and persistent economic profits are inequitable. | | | Because monopoly price exceeds marginal cost, the monopoly equilibrium is inefficient. | | | Marginal revenue is less than price for the monopoly firm. |

| | monopoly |
| | If the supply curve shows the monopoly's marginal costs, then the only way that a monopoly can charge a price higher than it's marginal costs is by producing a quantity less than at the intersection of supply and demand. | | | Remember that in an industry with lots of firms, the equilibrium price and quantity are determined by the intersection of supply and demand. | | | No matter if the industry is a monopoly or if there are lots of firms, the market cannot be forced to pay a higher price for less goods. |

| | Finally, it is indicative of monopoly power that Microsoft felt that it had substantial discretion in setting the price of its Windows 98 upgrade product (the operating system product it sells to existing users of Windows 95). | | | Another indication of monopoly power is the fact that Microsoft raised the price that it charged OEMs for Windows 95, with trivial exceptions, to the same level as the price it charged for Windows 98 just prior to releasing the newer product. | | | It is not possible with the available data to determine with any level of confidence whether the price that a profit-maximizing firm with monopoly power would charge for Windows 98 comports with the price that Microsoft actually charges. |

| | In a pure monopoly, the single seller will usually restrict supply to that point on the supply-demand schedule that will maximize profit. | | | The objective of such measures is to guarantee that price will be determined by market forces rather than by arbitrary price setting among corporations. | | | What resulted were generally publicly regulated private monopolies, such as some power, cable-television, and local telephone companies in the United States. |

Magie, from Virginia. |
