To determine

Marginal Revenue of a monopolist and perfectly competitive firm

Concept Introduction:

Monopoly Market- It is an extreme form of the imperfect market structure where all output is produced and sold by a single seller. The output produced is unique and has no close substitutes. The potential competitors of the monopolist do not have the information about the specialized production technique and the entry into and exit from the market is restricted.

Perfect Competition- It is an ideal market structure. It refers to a form of market where there is an infinite number of buyers and sellers in the market selling a homogenous good. There are no barriers to entry and exit, no transportation costs and no advertising costs. The market is characterized by perfect information of the buyers and the sellers are only price takers.

Marginal Revenue- It is the additional revenue earned by a seller by selling one more unit of output in the market.

Average Revenue- It is the Total Revenue (TR) divided by the number of units sold or the revenue per unit. Alternatively, it is called the price.
