Perfect Competition vs. Monopoly
As I analyze the fast food industry from the point of view of perfect competition, I will include the concepts of elastisticity, utility, costs, and market structure to explain the prices charged by fast food retailers, as well as monopoly within sports franchises. Firms within the fast food industry fall under the market structure of perfect competition. ... The characteristics of perfect competition include: large number of buyers and sellers, easy entry to and exit from the market, homogeneous products, the firm is the price taker. ... Competition within the industry as well as market supply and demand condition set the price of products sold. ... This change in market demand basically forced Wendy’s competition to lower prices on their menu, in order to maintain their share of the market. ... Another quality of perfect competition that may be overlooked, but is vital to this industry is the ease of entry into the market. ...
Secondly analyze sports franchises from the point of view of a monopoly. ... Most professional sports teams fit most or all of the characteristics of a monopoly. ... The demand curve of a monopoly is not elastic, as is such in a perfectly competitive market.
