Introduction to Pure Monopoly

This lesson will introduce some of the characteristics of monopolies and use a demand schedule to derive the demand and marginal revenue curves for a hypothetical monopolistic airplane manufacturer. We will then place cost curves on the graph to determine the profit maximizing quantity a monopolist should produce at, and we'll briefly examine the level of output and price as it would compare to a perfectly competitive market.
