In which of the following market structure is the demand curve of the market represented by the demand curve of the firm ?

  • A.Monopolistic competition
  • B.Perfect competition
  • C.Monopoly
  • D.Oligopoly

Answer: C

The structure is monopoly.

A monopolist is the only seller of its product, so the firm is the industry, and the downward-sloping market demand curve is the firm's own demand curve.

Under perfect competition the firm faces a horizontal demand curve at the market price, quite different from the downward-sloping market curve. Under monopolistic competition and oligopoly there are many or several firms, each facing only a part of market demand.
