Difference between monopoly and perfectly competitive market structure ​

Business
1 answer:
zmey [24]3 years ago

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

1. In a monopoly, one firm dominates a large market. Only one seller is serving a large number of buyers. In a perfectly competitive market structure, many sellers are competing to sell to many buyers.

2. A monopoly has no competition for its products. There are no close substitutes, which leaves customers with no other option but to buy from the monopoly. In perfect competition, sellers sell identical products. There is stiff competition for the product being sold.

3. In a monopoly, there are strong barriers to entry and exit from the market. In a perfectly competitive market, restrictions on entry or exit are absent.

4. The price for a monopoly is always set above the average cost, while in perfect competition, the price set is equal to the marginal cost.

5. A monopoly has full control over its price and can offer different prices to different groups of customers. In a perfects competition, the firms cannot practice price discrimination because they have no control over prices.

Explanation:

1) Famous celebrities and the people with lots of money are often seen with workers round them for their household chores/tasks. Although they are paying money for the work they could have done by themselves but if we analyze closely, they are actually taking advantage of the opportunity cost. The time when they were suppose to do the household work, now they are performing other task in that time which will be giving them much greater economic benefit, taking advantage of the concept of opportunity cost. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo can focus on his workout and daily exercise instead of making daily meals for himself, so he should have hired someone to do the meal work for him while he perform his workout which will help him on the field and will earn him much money.

2) Yes, it is possible for 2 countries to benefit from trade as a whole because they can get into an agreement by allowing free trade between the countries, for example, both the countries could agree that all the trade which will be executed between them would be tax free and no duties will be paid on them. This way the trade numbers would increase and industrialization would take place to meet the export/import orders. On the contrary, trading individually can be not so beneficial because there will be no free trade agreements between individuals i.e. no free lunches, that is why it could cost individuals much more than they can make money out of it.

3) One of the main reasons to oppose policies that restrict trade among the nations is that GDP. GDP is a measure of growth in any country, therefore when there will be no trade among countries, it would result in less productions of goods and services which which lead to less industrialization, which then will result to low employment and more unemployment, ultimately resulting in very low growth for any country and since growth is the only way forward for any nation, economists oppose policies that restrict trade among countries/nations.

I hope this detailed answer of mine help the poster.

Thank You and Good Luck.
