Suppose that Intel has a monopoly in the market for microprocessors in Brazil. During the year 2005, it faces a market demand curve given by P = 9 - Q, where Q is millions of microprocessors sold per year. Suppose you know nothing about Intel’s costs of production. Assuming that Intel acts as a profit-maximizing monopolist, would it ever sell 7 million microprocessors in Brazil in 2005?

Perfect Competition

It is the structure of the market that is said to exist when with many buyers and sellers exchanging similar commodities and its price is fixed by the market forces, demand, and supply, and a single firm cannot cause an impact over the price or market value of the homogenous product. This structure of the market is called perfect competition.
