Downloaded from hlayiso.com Economics/P2 13 DBE/November 2015 NSC – Memorandum INTRODUCTION Monopoly exists when there is only one seller of a product, when the product has no close substitutes, and when barriers block entry into the market completely  (Max. 2) BODY MAIN PART • Number of producers  - The monopolist has full control over the supply of a product, because it is the only seller  - The monopoly also represents the total industry e.g. De Beers, Eskom  • Nature of the product  - The product is unique and has no close substitutes  - E.g. electricity and rail transport  • Economic profit  - The monopoly makes a short-term loss or profit  • Technical superiority  - A monopoly has technical advantage over potential competitors and their access to resources and technical superiority make it difficult for others to compete  • Access to scarce resources  - A single firm owns and controls a specific scarce resources and excludes other companies from entering the market  • Demand curve  - Monopolists are also confronted with a demand curve for their product but because they are the only supplier of the product they can decide at what point on the demand curve they wish to be  - The monopolist is the only supplier of the product in the market - the demand curve that confronts the monopolist is that of the market as a whole  - The market demand curve which slopes downwards from left to right / graph  • Production level  - Once the monopolist has decided on a price, the quantity sold is determined by market demand - by reducing the price, monopolists can sell more units of the product and vice versa  - Monopolists influence the product-price combination of the product they sell without any reaction from other market participants  - Other participants cannot act because a basic requirement for the existence of a monopoly is that entry to the market is blocked  Copyright reserved Please turn over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Economics/P2 14 DBE/November 2015 NSC – Memorandum • Market forces  - Although the monopolist is the only supplier of a product, the product is still influenced by market forces in the economy  - Consumers have limited budgets and a monopoly can therefore not demand excessive prices for the product and the monopolist product has to compete for consumer’s favour with all the other products available in the economy  - E.g. Transnet competes road, air etc. means of transport  • Control over the price  - A monopolist has considerable control over the market price – but demand limits it  - A monopoly does not have control over demand, so demand will influence the final market price  - A monopoly can only decide at which point on the demand curve it wants to produce  • Substitutes  - There are few products that have no close substitutes whatsoever  - For many years even though there was no competition for telephone services in South Africa, consumers could still use alternative forms of communication such as letters and telegrams  • Favourable circumstances  - Sometimes entrepreneur may enjoy favourable circumstances in a certain geographic area  - E.g. there may be only one supplier of milk in a particular town, a hardware store or hotel  - There may even be laws that protect them, e.g. Post Offices in South Africa  - Pure monopolies are a common rarity in South Africa  - Not only are substitutes available, but there is often nothing to prevent other entrepreneurs from entering the market hence what may be called a quasi- monopoly  • Market information  - All buyers and the single seller have full knowledge of all the current market conditions  • Exploitation of consumers  - The monopolist may produce fewer products at a higher price compared to businesses under perfect competition  - E.g. De Beers, because the monopolist is the only producer of the product in the market, there is always the possibility of consumer exploitation. Most governments take steps to guard against such practices and new and existing monopolies are usually well monitored  Copyright reserved Please turn over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Economics/P2 15 DBE/November 2015 NSC – Memorandum • Market entry  - The barriers prevent other producers from entering the market to supply the same type of product   Natural monopolies  - High development cost are frequently a reason - the provision of electricity is often used as an example - To build a nuclear power station and transmission lines to distribute electricity costs billions of rands  - E.g. Eskom as a single business in the country that supplies electricity  operates as a natural monopoly and is frequently owned and regulated by the government   Artificial monopolies  - The barriers to entry are not economic in nature but artificial like patent rights which are legal and exclusive rights of a patent holder to manufacture a product using his or her unique invention  - Patents are also frequently encountered in the pharmaceutical industry  - Licensing is another way in which artificial monopoly is applied, e.g. TV and radio licenses  - licences protect operators against entry of other competitors  • Economies of scale  - These give advantages to large existing companies  - Occur when the cost per unit decreases when the output increases  - Large businesses production costs per unit are lower than those of small businesses, e.g. Eskom  • The geographical area  - This can cause a natural barrier as well, e.g. only one holiday resort can fit on the seafront as an exclusive beach  • Size of the market  - Sometimes a business enjoys favourable circumstances in a certain small market  - E.g. there may be only one hardware store in a particular small town  (Accept any other relevant facts) Economic profit Economic loss Price MC Price MC Cost Cost AC Inc Inc C a P a AC P b C b e e MR AR MR AR 0 q Quantity 0 q Quantity (Allocate a maximum of 8 marks for graphs) (Max 26 marks) Mark allocation per graph: Indication of economic profit / loss = 2 marks Correct drawing and labelling of axes = 1 mark Correct drawing and labelling of curves = 1 mark Copyright reserved MAXIMUM = 4 MARKS PER GRAPH Please turn over
