Question
Mention one feature of a monopoly market.
Solution
- Single seller and large number of buyers:
- Under monopoly, there is only one seller, firm or manufacturer of a commodity. The product sold by the monopolist may or may not be homogenous. The existence of a single seller of one product eliminates the difference between the firm and the industry.
- There can be any number of buyers under monopoly.
- No Close Substitutes: A second feature of monopoly is that there are no close substitutes available for the product sold by the monopolist. A pure monopoly exists only when there is no close substitute for the product sold by the monopolist.
