Concept Introduction

Monopoly: This refers to the condition in a market where there is a single person or company who sells a particular good or service and there is no competitor. In a monopoly, the supplier is free to fix any price since the consumers have no alternative available.

Consumer Surplus: This is the surplus occurring due to a difference in the amount that a consumer is willing to pay for a good or service and the amount that is actually paid by the consumer.

Producer Surplus: This is the surplus occurring due to a difference in the amount at which a good or service is sold by the producer and the amount at which the producer is willing to sell the good or service.

Price Discrimination: This refers to a type of strategy used to fix the price of goods and services. Under this strategy, the monopolist charges a different price for each consumer, which is the maximum price that a consumer is willing to pay.
