Background

Profit maximization is the assumed goal of the firm. That is, the firm?s goal is to maximize profits subject to its costs. Market structures such as Competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition and oligopoly all have the goal of profit maximization and these markets can also be identified by their characteristics.

Table 1

Characteristics	Perfect Competition	Monopoly	Monopolistic Competition	Oligopoly
Few of sellers
Identical Product
Free entry & exit
Long run zero economic profit
Market power; ability to influence price & output
Product differentiation
Downward sloping demand curve
Many sellers
Single seller of product with no close substitutes
Mutual interdependence & Strategic Pricing
Price takers

Instructions: Table 1 above, contains distinguishing characteristics of four market structures covered in this course.

Question 1 Place an X in the column space provided that corresponds with each market structure. (Note, some characteristics may apply to more than one market structure).
