Competitive Environment
Relevant Market
Market power
Market structure – Market Conduct-Market
performance
Market Structure – those
characteristics of the market
that significantly affect the
behavior and interaction of
buyers and sellers

Market Conduct – a firm’s
policies toward its market and
toward the moves made by its
rivals in that market
Market Performance – how well
does an industry do what
society might reasonably expect
it to do
Market – a collection of firms, each
of which is supplying products that
have some degree of
substitutability, to the same potential
buyers
• Common buyers for sellers
• Common sellers for buyers
• Relatively homogeneous product
Industry- sellers of a particular
product or closely competing
products
Relevant market – the portion of
the total market that a
participant views as including
his or her direct competitors and
customers (or suppliers)
Some market models
• Pure competition
• Monopoly – a single seller
• Monopsony – a single buyer
Marginal Revenue
The change in total revenue
from expanding sales by one
more unit

Calculating Marginal Revenue
Q = 12 - P
TR = PQ
P = 12 - Q
TR = (12 - Q) Q = 12Q - Q2
MR = D(TR)/D(Q) = 12 - 2Q
MC = MR
Calculating Marginal Revenue

Solve the demand function for P
P = 12 –Q
Take the coefficient of Q and double it
MR = 12 – 2Q

For Monopoly, find where
MC =MR
and then go up to the price on
the demand curve
Marginal Factor Cost
The change in total factor cost
from buying one additional unit
of an input

MFC = D(TC)/D(Q) = 2Q

Solve the Supply curve for P
P=Q
Double the coefficient of Q
MFC = 2Q
Ordinarily the line doesn’t run through the
origin
• The process is the same – solve for P –
double the coefficient of Q

For Monopsony, find where

and then go down to the price
on the supply curve
Concluding Comments
• Where does a 500 pound gorilla sit?
• Market power is important
• Understanding it helps you understand
market behavior
