Q

Plant size and the efficiency of its resources, functional relation between inputs and ouputs.

Shows maximum number of outputs can be produced with a given labor or capital

Resources are fixed in the short run

If the plant size and resources change in the long run so is the production capacity.

92
Q

large number of buyers and sellers

         - freedom of entry and exit from the industry - outputs are homogeneous   

 This means that the quantity demanded is responsive to change in price
A

Perfect Competition (Perfectly elastic)

93
Q

large number of buyers and sellers each would be to smaller a unit to affect the price of the product.

A

Demand Curve

94
Q

the point where market demands will be equal to market supply
- In short run, demand affect equilibrium, in the long run, demand and supply affect equilibrium

A

Equilibrium of Perfect Competition

95
Q
  • single firm that is producing product -

there are no close substitutes

  • 1 seller & large buyers -

no entry of new firms

A

Pure Monopoly (Inelastic)

96
Q

its demand curve is industry curve the not perfectly elastic demand but negatively sloped
- if the seller in the pure monopoly wants to sell more, he must lower its price

A

DEMAND CURVE OF PURE MONOPOLY

97
Q

Is the output at which total profits are maximized

A

Short Run Equilibrium

98
Q

Total Revenue Curve is domed-shape
- Total Cost is arising
- TR - TC = PROFIT - TC = TR break even point is achieved

A

SHORT RUN PROFIT MAXIMIZING OUTPUT OF PURE MONOPOLY

99

in this, monopolist may incurlosses
- Losses will be minimized if the monopolist produces where short run MC = short run MR

A

SHORT RUN LOSS MINIMIZATION

100
Q

entry of new firms is difficult and is often blocked
- monopolist adjust their long run output by
Means of plant size adjustments- plant is smaller than the most efficient size, most efficient size will be appropriate.

A
