Answer:

D

Explanation:

A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of a monopoly is a utility company

Because the demand curve for a monopoly is downward sloping, marginal revenue is less than price. As prices fall, more units of the product are bought.

In a monopoly When the average cost is falling, the marginal cost lies below the average cost. If the government sets price to be equal to marginal cost, which lies below the average cost, the monopoly would incur losses.

When industries are limited by the size of the domestic market, opening trade to the world markets will likely lead to ________
kari74 [83]

Answer: c) economies of scale; increase

Explanation:

When industries are limited by the size of the domestic market, opening trade to the world markets will likely lead to economies of scale and increase real GDP per capita in the domestic country.

When this industry choose to break out of this limitation placed on them due to the small size of market in their country, the idea of opening trade to the world market would lead to reduction in production costs since they now have a larger market (and thus produce more). Also, the real GDP per capita in the domestic country should increase since the company in this domestic nation has expanded its production to the world market.

NOTE:

Economies of scale occur when the cost of production is now reduced because there is an increase in a company's production.
