HERFINDAHL INDEX: A measure of concentration of the production in an industry that's calculated as the sum of the squares of market shares for each firm. This is an alternative method of summarizing the degree to which an industry is oligopolistic and the relative concentration of market power held by the largest firms in the industry. The Herfindahl index gives a better indication of the relative market control of the largest firms than can be found with the four-firm and eight-firm concentration ratios.

This table is a supply schedule presenting the relationship between supply price and quantity supplied. Our relationship is between the supply price in the middle column and the quantity of stuffed animals supplied in the right-hand column. Assumptions: - Ceteris paribus factors do not change.
- Quantities are supplied for a specific time period, such as one year.
Some observations about the supply schedule:- First, higher prices go with larger quantities supplied-the law of supply.
- Second, the prices are minimum values for the given quantities.
- Third, supply is the whole set of price/quantity pair numbers. Quantity supplied is any single number at the specified price.
- Fourth, these numbers are hypothetical, presenting a 'what if' relationship.

MARGINAL REVENUE, MONOPOLY The change in total revenue resulting from a change in the quantity of output sold. Marginal revenue indicates how much extra revenue a monopoly receives for selling an extra unit of output. It is found by dividing the change in total revenue by the change in the quantity of output. Marginal revenue is the slope of the total revenue curve and is one of two revenue concepts derived from total revenue. The other is average revenue. To maximize profit, a monopoly equates marginal revenue and marginal cost.
