...In this analysis, automobile market in Turkey will be evaluated in terms of the market structure. In the analysis, automobile producers which sell their products in Turkey (car brands in Turkey) will be taken into consideration. While making the analysis, the basic structural and behavioral assumptions of the market structures will be incorporated which are number of sellers, cost conditions, number of buyers, demand conditions, objective function, strategic variable, expectation of rivals’ reactions. Structural Assumptions: Number of Sellers: There are about more than 30 automobile companies operating in Turkey which are engaged in directly or indirectly (via distributors) selling automobiles in Turkey. Regarding the structural assumption of seller number, it can be concluded that there are few number of sellers in the market. The reason behind the few number of sellers is the substantial barriers to entry into the market, which is due to the high investment amount needed to start production. Cost Conditions: Given the scale of productions as constant, the companies face with diminishing returns which results in an increase in marginal costs in the short run. Number of buyers: Mentioned production companies generally sell the products to either individual consumers or to the distributors of the brands. That’s, it can obviously said that there are many buyers in the market. Demand conditions: In the market, there are different segments of cars that are sold...

Introduction: monopolistic power as a means of getting high profits The review of the article Microsoft's Aggressive New Pricing Strategy in terms of microeconomic theory A. B. C. Microsoft as a monopolist in software industry Google as the main company’s competitor at software market Strategies taken by Microsoft to regain the competitive power and combat the global financial recession III. Conclusion: Microsoft as a company which operates at monopolistic and oligopolistic markets. 2 II. ARTICLE ANALYSIS Introduction Monopolistic power is a profit earner for many companies. It prevails in spite of the presence of government regulations against the formation of monopolistic power in the market, which brings in deformity in the competitive scenario. One of the vivid examples is the monopolistic power Microsoft has enjoyed (Burrows, 2009). A monopolist has the power to set any price they find reasonable for getting high profits. However, a monopolist cannot set both the price and quantity to be purchased at the same time. This article shows how a monopolist can charge whatever price it deems to but it is not in their power to set the quantity of the product demanded. Therefore, a monopolist must increase prices in order to gain market share. Further, a monopolist sets different prices in different places. This price discrimination depends on the demand of the...

...Question 1: How is the Microeconomics different from macro economics? Discuss also the subject matter of Microeconomics in detail. Answer: MICROECONOMICS "Micro Economics is the study of particular firm, particular household, individual prices, wages, incomes, individual industries and particular commodities." ( K. E. Boulding) In micro economics, we study the small segments of an economy or, in other words, we take up the individual decision – making units of an economy in microeconomics e.g., we analyze the demand of a product or often individual and the equilibrium price of a product rather than discussing the aggregate demand of the economy and the general price level in a country. Similarly in microeconomics, we study the determination of price/reward of a factor of production, analysis of an individual firm or industry, the consumption pattern of a person, choice of technique and different market situations etc. Microeconomics is generally called the “Price Theory”. • Production. In this part of microeconomics we study the meaning of the production of wealth, the cost of production and how it is minimized factor of production and their relative importance in the production process, the production function, the analysis of supply etc. • Exchange. This part covers the market mechanism or the exchange of wealth through the forces of demand and supply, perfect and imperfect market at the behavior of the competitors etc. • Distribution.

Chris Marcella, an architect and founder of Skylights is planning to construct the capital structure of the company with co-founders. Economy analysis: Investors must make judgments about the financial markets both in the current scenario as well as in the future scenario.

In this case, we have seen three types of scenario (Pessimistic, Most likely, Optimistic) have been developed by the financial analyst. From the very beginning the company is concerned about the financing as well as production planning. According to the financial analyst of the company there are two types of production plans (Plan-A & Plan-B) available for the company. On the other hand for initial capital the company is planning for taking debt, issuing share to outside investors ($10 per share). The founders also agree for their initial investments ($0.10 per share). We will analyze how much equity and debt could maximize the firm’s value. We will also analyze what production plan could bring good earnings at tolerable level of risks. Industry analysis: The purpose of industry analysis is to...
