We’ve observed that there are few examples of perfectly competitive markets in the real world, yet we use the model of perfect competition as a comparison with other market structures. Can you think of any examples of monopoly in the real world?Describe something you believe could possibly called a monopoly and explain why it fits the characteristics of a monopoly. Is your example a true, unregulated monopoly? (For example, Microsoft has been called a monopoly, but it is not the sole producer of computer operating systems, so strictly speaking it’s not a monopoly.) If there are few true monopolies, what can we learn from studying that market structure?

Calculate the marginal product of labor, the value of the marginal product of labor, and the marginal profit ,suppose a fully competitive company, LA"Banana, where wages are fixed at $800 and each banana (output) sells for $20.
Henry Potter owns the only well in town that produces clean drinking water. He faces the following demand, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves: Demand: P=60−QP=60−Q Marginal Revenue: MR=60−2QMR=60−2Q Marginal Cost: MC=QMC=Q On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to graph Mr. Potter's demand curve. Then, use the black line (cross symbol) to graph his marginal revenue (MR) curve. Next, use the orange line (square symbol) to graph his marginal cost (MC) curve. Finally, use the grey point (star symbol) to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity. : The profit-maximizing quantity is___units, and the profit-maximizing price is___. Mayor George Bailey, concerned about water consumers, is considering a price ceiling that is 10% below the monopoly price. At this new price, the quantity demanded would be___units. At this quantity, the marginal cost would be___the price. Therefore, the profit-maximizing Mr. Potter___produce…
