Economics 214 summary: Microeconomics
Chapter 10: Monopoly
Monopoly: Single seller of product without substitute
Page | 1
Profit maximizing Monopolist:
Max Profit: MR = MC
Never operates on inelastic part of demand curve, BC.
(because MR < 0 on that part of the demand curve).
Price maker (monopoly power)
Makes profit in the long run
Rule of Thumb for pricing:
Left-hand side is the markup over MC as a percentage of price.
This relationship says that this markup should equal minus the inverse of the elasticity of demand.
o if is relatively large (demand is relatively elastic), price will be very close to MC
(markup will be small)
o if is relatively small (demand is relatively inelastic), price will be relatively high
(markup will be large)
