82
What is the formula for Total Cost (TC)?
TC = TFC + TVC
83
What is the formula of TOTAL FIXED COST (TFC)?
TFC = TC - TVC
84
What is the formula of Total Variable Cost (TVC)?
TVC = TC - TFC
85
What is the formula for Average Total Cost (ATC)?
ATC = TC/Q
86

AFC = TFC/Q
87

AVC = TVC/Q
88
What is the formula for Marginal Cost (MC)?
MC = TC2-TC1/Q2-Q1
89
not profitable production , should cut down some of its production
Marginal Cost > Marginal Revenue
90
profitable production, raise production
Marginal Cost < Marginal Revenue
91
the company should keep the production constant
Marginal Cost = Marginal Revenue
92
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
Perfect Competition (Perfectly elastic)
93
large number of buyers and sellers each would be to smaller a unit to affect the price of the product.
Demand Curve
94
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
Equilibrium of Perfect Competition
95
- single firm that is producing product - there are no close substitutes - 1 seller & large buyers - no entry of new firms
Pure Monopoly (Inelastic)
96
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
DEMAND CURVE OF PURE MONOPOLY
97
Is the output at which total profits are maximized
Short Run Equilibrium
98
Total Revenue Curve is domed-shape - Total Cost is arising - TR - TC = PROFIT - TC = TR break even point is achieved
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
SHORT RUN LOSS MINIMIZATION
100
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.
Long Run Equilibrium
101
charging different prices for the same commodity, the first market is inelastic demand, the second will be elastic demand
Price Discrimination
102
monopolies can’t just be left alone by the government as other industries in more competitive models are left alone.
Regulation of monopoly
103
large number of small firms - homogeneous products - with close substitutes
MONOPOLISTIC COMPETITION (ELASTIC DEMAND CURVE)
104
developed the theory of monopolistic competition
Edward Chamberlin
105
Monopolistic output is less - Monopolistic has higher prices than perfect competition
Monopolistic vs Perfect Competition
106
Monopolistic output greater - Monopolistic has lower prices and lower profits
Monopolistic vs Pure Monopoly
107
small number of firms - with interdependence in each other
Oligopoly
108
produced identical products, change in price greater affects competitors
Pure Oligopoly
109
produced different products, change in price less affects competitors
Differentiated Oligopoly
110
formal org in the industry, have agreements
Perfect Collusion
111
informal arrangements, doesn’t have clear agreements
Imperfect Collusion
112
traditional feature of oligopoly - explain the rigidity of prices in oligopolistic market - elastic in price increase - competitors match a price decrease - downward sloping like demand curve
Kinked Demand Curve
