Lecture 1: Demand and Supply
... Any sensible discussion about economics starts with the concepts of demand and supply. Economists take it as given that, the greater the price of any commodity, the less of it consumers will want to purchase, and the more of it other people will be willing to supply. - While simplistic in nature -- ...

Chapter 8 Profit Maximization and Competitive Supply
... In the short run, a change in the market price induces the profit-maximizing firm to change its optimal level of output. This optimal output occurs where price is equal to marginal cost, as long as marginal cost exceeds average variable cost. Therefore, the short-run supply curve of the firm is its ...

... At every level of output except 1 unit, a monopolist’s marginal revenue (MR) is below price. This is so because (1) we assume that the monopolist must sell all its product at a single price (no price discrimination) and (2) to raise output and sell it, the firm must lower the price it charges.

Externality
In economics, an externality is the cost or benefit that affects a party who did not choose to incur that cost or benefit.For example, manufacturing activities that cause air pollution impose health and clean-up costs on the whole society, whereas the neighbors of an individual who chooses to fire-proof his home may benefit from a reduced risk of a fire spreading to their own houses. If external costs exist, such as pollution, the producer may choose to produce more of the product than would be produced if the producer were required to pay all associated environmental costs. Because responsibility or consequence for self-directed action lies partly outside the self, an element of externalization is involved. If there are external benefits, such as in public safety, less of the good may be produced than would be the case if the producer were to receive payment for the external benefits to others. For the purpose of these statements, overall cost and benefit to society is defined as the sum of the imputed monetary value of benefits and costs to all parties involved. Thus, unregulated markets in goods or services with significant externalities generate prices that do not reflect the full social cost or benefit of their transactions; such markets are therefore inefficient.
