- The kinked-demand curve analysis, which illustrates how oligopoly prices tend to be relatively rigid because competing firms DON'T match higher prices but DO match lower prices.
- How colluding firms maximizing industry profit by equating industry marginal revenue to industry marginal cost.
- How the output of colluding firm is divided based on the marginal cost of production by each firm.

AVERAGE FACTOR COST, MONOPSONY Total factor cost per unit of factor input employed by a monopsony in the production of output, found by dividing total factor cost by the quantity of factor input. Average factor cost, abbreviated AFC, is generally equal to the factor price. However, using the longer term average factor cost makes it easier to see the connection to related terms, including total factor cost and marginal factor cost.
