[QUOTE="Activator230822, post: 295941, member: 88192"] As for me monopoly is a situation whereby there is a single seller in the market. In other words, the monopoly is the opposite of perfect competition. However there are so many drawbacks of monopoly to the customers in the society. Some of them are as follows; Increase in prices Since there exists only a single seller of the goods and services in the society, the seller tends to set higher prices for the goods and services. This is so because there is no competition in the market. This will in turn make the customers to suffer higher prices of goods and services in the market. Lacks of provision of customer preferences and demands. Since there is only one seller in the market, there would be insufficient of adequate provision of varieties and preferences of the customers. Therefore this would force the customers to buy what they are not willing to buy. A reduction in the surplus of consumers Since the consumers pay greater prices for the Goods and services, they would have less available spending money because the prices exceeds the marginal cost, this is also results in allocative inefficiency. Provision of poor quality and substandardized goods and services Since the seller enjoys the monopoly, they don't care on the quality of goods and services that they render to the consumers leading to the consumption of substandardized goods.
