The board is another matter and should never be consumed raw. The board should at minimum be steamed to a temperature of no less than 140 degrees Fahrenheit and tested for tenderness.

A monopoly is formed when one company, or person, is the only supplier of a certain thing or service. Some examples of monopolies include Standard Oil, US Steel, Western Union, AT&T and De Beers.

The monopoly was broken up by the government.

The owner of the monopoly benefits most.

Natural monopolies exist primarily due to high fixed costs and significant economies of scale associated with certain industries, such as utilities and public transportation. In these sectors, a single provider can supply the entire market demand more efficiently than multiple competing firms, leading to lower average costs as production increases. As a result, entry by additional competitors would not only be economically unviable but could also lead to inefficient duplication of infrastructure. This situation often prompts regulatory oversight to ensure fair pricing and access for consumers.

John D. Rockefeller consolidated his monopoly through the establishment of the Standard Oil Company, which utilized aggressive strategies such as horizontal integration, where he acquired competing oil companies to dominate the market. He also engaged in vertical integration by controlling every aspect of the oil supply chain, from production to distribution. Additionally, Rockefeller employed secretive deals and rebates with railroads to lower transportation costs, further undercutting competitors. These tactics enabled him to significantly reduce competition and increase his market share, leading to a near-total monopoly in the American oil industry.

A traditional monopoly can be considered whenever a single company controls the vast majority of an industry. In 1984 the US Federal Government split up AT&T due to the corporation having a monopoly on the telephone service industry.

Note: 'Excessive' is not an objective term to use for economics analysis.

Monopoly profits usually represent a form of price mark-up, setting MC = MR and then vertically matching the maximum willingness-to-pay for that unit and all units before it on the demand curve. This is socially inefficient but privately optimal.

When a market's potential profit is so limited by its geographic location that only a single seller decides to enter the market. That type of market is a geographic monopoly. An example would be a general store in a remote community.

Monopoly has no supply curve because the monopolist does not take price as given, but set both price and quantity from the demand curve.

Consisting of one seller for an entire product existing in a competitive arena where one company has control over the entire market for a product. One such monopoly for example would be the United States Postal Service (a government regulated monopoly existing in the private sector).

Even in a monopoly such as the U.S. Postal Service, specialized parcel shipping companies have found their way into this monopolized market to where they can sustain a profit and effectively compete. This is a factor inherent in all markets.

However, considering the effects of monopolistic competition, a market with complete control is still existant within the U.S. Postal Service. They are the ultimate processor of standard letter mail in the United States of America. Although, other companies have entered the market, they have yet to take control of this specialized sector of the segment allowing certain companies of a puremonopoly status to exist in perceived market competition.

Although some companies act as if they were puremonopoly, it is imperitive to understand that a puremonopoly market is the most rare of monopolies. Even if a monopoly seems to exist in puremonopoly, that may not be the case.
