A monopolist is:
a. A firm with annual sales of over $10 million,
b. A single supplier of a good or service for which there is no close substitute,
c. A producer of a good or service that is costly to produce, requiring large amounts of capital investment,
d. A large firm, making substantial profits, that is able to exercise market control over other firms.
In the monopoly market, the monopolist is the single seller of the product in the market; thereby, he creates a legal high entry-barriers to enjoy a higher amount of profits. Besides this, the monopolist is able to maximize its profit because the buyers have no choice in the market regarding the monopolist product; that is, either the buyer has to buy the monopolist product at a higher price or buy nothing.c
