- We have learned the definition of monopoly as a market with one seller. Let's take some time to understand what that means, and how it can come about. What are some of the reasons that a market could be a monopoly? What is giving the monopolist their exclusive position in the market? Everyone should discuss a few reasons and/or examples of how a monopoly can come into existence. Typically the model of Monopoly predicts that all customers are charged the same price and that the monopolist selects the quantity and price combination from the market demand curve that maximizes profit. However, there are times where a monopolist may at least attempt to charge different prices for the exact same product depending on each consumer's willingness and ability to pay. In this case the monopolist might offer the product at a lower price to those who would otherwise not buy it, thus increasing quantity consumed in the market and reducing some of what is called the dead weight loss of monopoly.…arrow_forwardIn contrast to the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act of 1914 a. was more general, outlawing monopoly or attempting to acquire a monopolyb. identified specific practices that were illegalc. made interlocking directorates legal as long as they were reasonabled. invalidated the concept of "illegal per se"e. made cartels legal English Common law became the basis for American Common Law.

- Question C2 The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has opened an investigation regarding collusion between the two major firms producing fire protection gear for bush firefighters. The firms - Azure Associates and Blue Guard - contend that they are quantity competitors and that the prices they are charging are a result of an increase in price by their suppliers. As part of the case, the ACCC has noted that the Australian firefighters typically purchase their own protective gear and are thus price takers in the market. Both the ACCC and the two firms under investigation agree that the market demand can be described by the inverse demand function: P(Q)=240-Q, where Q is the total quantity provided by the two firms (i.e., Q=q₁ + 9B, where is the 9A amount produced by Azure Associates and q, is the amount produced by Blue Guard).
