government regulates a monopoly so that it may not charge a price above p‚ which lies between the unregulated monopoly price and the optimally regulate price (determined by the intersection of the firm’s marginal cost and the market demand curve). As usual‚ the monopoly determines its optimal output on the basis of MR = MC. Here‚ however‚ it cannot charge a price in excess of p*. So‚ for any output less than Q(p*) (where Q(p) is the demand function) its marginal revenue is p*. On the graph below that gives:

order to know what type of market businesses operate in‚ it is important to distinguish which market structure each specific firm belongs to.

Explain how economic systems attempt to allocate and make effective use of resources. Because we live in a world where resources are scarce economic systems make use of market structures such as the perfectly competitive market model as a benchmarking tool in order to better understand consumer behaviour and recognise areas of their market structures that require improvement and how they could possibly achieve this in the most efficient and effective way. The theory of perfect competition is
