This document summarizes pricing strategies under different market structures:
- Perfect competition firms are price takers and price is determined by market supply and demand.
- Perishable goods must be sold at the market price on the day, while non-perishable goods can be stored and sold when prices are higher.
- Monopolies are price makers that charge high prices to earn monopoly profits through trial and error or by setting price where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
- Under monopolistic competition, firms set differentiated prices and the demand curve is elastic. In long run, entry of new firms eliminates economic profits.
- Oligopolies may engage in price rigidity, non-price

INTRODUCTION
A breakeven analysis is used to determine how much sales volume your business needs to start making a profit.
The breakeven analysis is especially useful when you're developing a pricing strategy, either as part of a marketing plan or a business plan.
In economics & business, specifically cost accounting, the break-even point (BEP) is the point at which cost or expenses and revenue are equal: there is no net loss or gain, and one has "broken even".
Total cost = Total revenue = B.E.P.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Pricing decisions under different market structures
1.
2. Perfect Competition pricing
decisions..
are determined by the forces of
demand and supply.
The point of intersection between
demand and supply curves
determines the equilibrium price.
Each firm is a price
The Average Revenue Curve is
horizontal and that AR = MR.
3. Market Price of a Perishable
Commodity
Eg.fruits and vegetables
the supply is limited and
cannot be stored for the
next market period
therefore the commodity
must be sold away on the
same day whatever the
price may be.
4. Market Price of Non-Perishable
goods can be preserved and
carried over to the next market
period.
if price is very high the seller
will be sell the whole stock.
if price is low the seller will not
sell any amount in the present
market period, but will hold
back for some better time.
price below which the seller will
refuse to sell is called the
Reserve Price.
5. Pricing under Monopoly
monopolist is a price maker.
Initially he fixes the price through trial and error process, by
balancing losses and gains.
equilibrium ->MR = MC and corresponding point on the
Average Revenue Curve determines the price to earn maximum
profit.
he will charge a high price and subsequently enjoy monopoly
profits.
6. Pricing under Monopoly
In the long run , the monopolist firm strives and plans
to earn only profits
He may also practice price-discrimination -charging
different prices to different buyers and in different
regions for the same product
Selling his product in foreign market at a price lower
than his own market is itself referred to as Dumping.
7. Pricing under Monopolistic
Competition
a group of producers producing same but not identical
product compete with each other in the market.
They practice product-differentiation instead of
having a price war with each
the prices charged are quite competitive in nature.
Eg- Lux, Liril, Dove, etc.
8. Pricing under Monopolistic
Competition
In monopolistic competition, every firm has a certain
degree of monopoly power and can take initiative to
set a price.
there can never be a unique price but the prices will be
in a group reflecting the consumers’ tastes and
preferences for differentiated products.
the price of the product of the firm is determined by
its cost function, demand, its objective etc
9. Pricing under Monopolistic
Competition
Demand curve /average revenue curve of a firm under monopolistic
competition is elastic sloping downwards to the right but not perfectly
elastic
Reason :
reduction in the price will increase the sales of the firm but it will have
little effect on other firms as each will lose only a few of its customers.
an increase in price will reduce demand substantially but each of its
rivals will attract only a few of its customers.
This happens because the products are close substitutes but not
indentical.
When it exercises some control over price, it resembles monopoly and
when its demand curve is affected by market conditions it resembles
pure competition. Such a situation is, characterised as monopolistic
competition.
10. Pricing under Monopolistic
Competition
Every firm acts independently and for a given demand
curve, marginal revenue curve and cost curves, the firm
maximizes profit or minimizes loss when MC=MR
11. Pricing under Monopolistic
Competition
If a firm in a is making substantial amount of economic
profits and assuming that the other firms in the market are
also making profits, attracted by the super-normal profits,
new firms will enter the group.
As a result, there will be an increase in the number of close
substitutes available in the market and hence the demand
curve would shift downwards since each existing firm
would lose market share. The entry of new firms would
continue as long as there are economic profits.
Thus monopolistic competition is similar to perfect
competition where economic profits are eliminated in the
long run.
12. Pricing under Monopolistic
Competition
The demand curve will
continue to shift
downwards till it becomes
tangent to LRAC at a
given price P1 and output
at Q1 as shown in the
figure. At this point of
equilibrium, an increase
or decrease in price would
lead to losses. In this
case the entry of new
firms would stop, as there
will not be any economic
profits.
13. Pricing under Monopolistic
Competition
Due to free entry, many firms can enter the market and
there may be a condition where the demand falls below
LRAC and ultimately suffers losses resulting in the exit
of the firms. Therefore under the monopolistic
competition free entry and exit must lead to a situation
where demand becomes tangent to LRAC
Due to product differentiation/ availability of variety firms
in the long run do not produce at the minimum point of
their average cost curve, and thus there is excess capacity
available with each firm and consumers pay the higher
price for the increased variety available in the market.
14. Pricing under Oligopoly
Under Oligopoly there are few sellers competing in the
market. They may be rivals or may form collusion
Each producer before he fixes the prices of his product
tries to understand the price behavior of other
producers in the market.
Under Oligopoly there prevails the phenomenon
of price rigidity.
Firms may prefer to resort to non-price competition
leaving each other to follow their own policies.
15. Kinked Demand Curve
Each oligopolistic believes that if he
lowers the price, his rivals will also
lower their prices. Thus, the upper
portion of the demand curve is price
elastic. If he increases the price, the
rivals will not and therefore, he will
lose customers. This explains the
inelastic lower portion of the
demand curve.
