Demand is the relationship between the quantity of a
product that will be purchased in a particularmarket within a given time period and the severalvariables that influence it.
as the relationship between price and quantity,
is subject to change over time due to changes inthe underlying factors held constant by the staticnotion of demand. Changes in demand "shifters"are often included in economic estimation ofdemand representing anticipated dynamics in
these determinants.

y Many goods are consumed either in lieu of, or togetherwith other products. Goods that may be consumedinstead of a product are called substitutes of that
product, while goods that are consumed with it are itscomplements.

y Anumber of factors determine the elasticity:
y Substitutes: The more substitutes, the higher theelasticity, as people can easily switch from onegood to another if a minor price change is made
y Percentage ofincome: The higher the percentage
that the product's price is of the consumer'sincome, the higher the elasticity, as people will becareful with purchasing the good because of itscost

y Necessity: The more necessary a good is, the lower theelasticity, as people will attempt to buy it no matter theprice, such as the case ofinsulin for those that need it.
y
Duration: The longer a price change holds, the higherthe elasticity, as more and more people will stopdemanding the goods (i.e. if you go to the supermarketand find that blueberries have doubled in price, you'll
buy it because you need it this time, but next time youwon't, unless the price drops back down again)

y Afirm considering a price change must know whateffect the change in price will have on total revenue.Generally any change in price will have two effects:
y the price effect: an increase in unit price will tend toincrease revenue, while a decrease in price will tend todecrease revenue.
y the quantity effect: an increase in unit price will tendto lead to fewer units sold, while a decrease in unitprice will tend to lead to more units sold

y Single Seller: In a monopoly there is one seller of themonopolized good who produces all the output.[3] The
firm and industry are identical. In a PC market thereare an infinite number of sellers each producing aninfinitesimally small quantity of output.

y arket Power: Market Power is the ability to affectthe terms and conditions of exchange.[4] It is the abilityto set your own price.[5]Although a monopoly's market
power is high it is not absolute.Amonopoly faces anegatively sloped demand curve not a perfectlyinelastic curve. Consequently, any price increase willresult in the loss of some customers. The monopoly'sobjective is to maximize profits.

y High Barriers to Entry and Competition:Monopolies derive their market power from barriers toentry - circumstances that prevent or greatly impede a
potential competitor's entry into the market or abilityto compete in the market. There are three major typesof barriers to entry; economic, legal and deliberate.[6]

There are many sellers ( buyers ), and not one dominates
The firms sell identical, or homogeneous products.
Entry into the industry is unhampered

y An oligopolyis a market form in which a market orindustryis dominated by a small number of sellers(oligopolists). The word is derived, by analogy with
"monopoly", from the Gr
eek oligoi 'few' andpoleein'to sell'. Because there are few sellers, each oligopolistis likely to be aware of the actions of the others. Thedecisions of one firm influence, and are influenced by,the decisions of other firms.
