  2. Monopoly profit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly_profit

    Although a regulated monopoly will not have a monopoly profit that is high as it would be in an unregulated situation, it still can have an economic profit that is still above what a competitive firm has in a truly competitive market. [2] Government regulations of the price the monopoly can charge reduce the monopoly profit, but do not ...

  3. Monopolistic competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopolistic_competition

    The company is able to collect a price based on the average revenue (AR) curve. The difference between the company's average revenue and average cost, multiplied by the quantity sold (Qs), gives the total profit. A short-run monopolistic competition equilibrium graph has the same properties of a monopoly equilibrium graph.

  4. Profit maximization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_maximization

    In the case of monopoly, the company will produce more products because it can still make normal profits. To get the most profit, you need to set higher prices and lower quantities than the competitive market. However, the revenue function takes into account the fact that higher levels of output require a lower price in order to be sold.

    However, the one monopoly profit theorem is not true if customers in the monopoly good are stranded or poorly informed, or if the tied good has high fixed costs. A pure monopoly has the same economic rationality of perfectly competitive companies, i.e. to optimise a profit function given some constraints.

[1] [2] The monopoly ensures a monopoly price exists when it establishes the quantity of the ...

  7. Williamson tradeoff model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williamson_tradeoff_model

    However, the industry is now less competitive, with a monopoly being the most extreme example. Since the firm is no longer a price taker, the price it charges will be above the (now lower) unit cost. For a monopoly, for example, the price will be set where the unit/marginal cost intersects marginal revenue.

  8. Perfect competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_competition

    A monopolist can set a price in excess of costs, making an economic profit. The above diagram shows a monopolist (only one firm in the market) that obtains a (monopoly) economic profit. An oligopoly usually has economic profit also, but operates in a market with more than just one firm (they must share available demand at the market price).

  9. Profit (economics) - Wikipedia

    Therefore, economic profit is smaller than accounting profit. [3] Normal profit is often viewed in conjunction with economic profit. Normal profits in business refer to a situation where a company generates revenue that is equal to the total costs incurred in its operation, thus allowing it to remain operational in a competitive industry.
