A monopoly has significant market power and can influence the price of its product, making it a price-maker. In contrast, firms in perfect competition are price-takers.

Equilibrium price is the price at which the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied. It is also referred to as the market price because it is the price that clears the market.

A perfect market is characterized by many buyers and sellers, homogeneous products, and perfect information, which leads to a single, uniform price across the market.

Buyer power refers to the ability of customers to put the firm under pressure, which can affect the firm's margins and its ability to set prices.

A mixed economy combines elements of both market and command economies, often resulting in a dual pricing system where some goods are priced by the market and others are regulated by the government.

In a capitalist economy, the price mechanism (supply and demand) acts as an invisible hand to allocate resources efficiently without central planning.

In India, predatory pricing practice is not permissible.
