Although it's a monopoly, you don't see other firms entering the market. Name one possible entry barrier that could be keeping other firms from entering and competing with the suggested business.

Market power refers to a firm's ability to set price. True False
Monopoly. A monopoly is the least competitive market structure. It has only one seller. There are no substitutes to a truly monopolized good, so the firm can be a price searcher (or price seeker). The firm can produce and sell its product in the sole interest of profit maxímization. A monopoly can develop for a number of reasons. A natural monopoly results when it seems impractical for multiple firms to control a single resource, as is often the case with public utilities, such as electricity. Also, if a firm captures economies of scale, it can prevent other firms from being able to produce at a cost that would allow them to be competitive. A firm that holds a copyright or a patent has an artificial monopoly. Monopolies can be problematic. One reason is that the product scarcity is partially contrived. A firm can withhold resources from consumers in order to earn a higher price. A second reason is welfare loss, or "deadweight loss." When a firm withholds goods, it eventually sells…

Competition policy can be defined as the set of policies and laws which regulate monopolies. which regulates mergers and cartel formation. which ensure that competition in the marketplace is not restricted in such a way as to reduce economic welfare which enhances price competition. none of the other answers are correct.
