Q. When there is one buyer and many sellers in a market-what is this situation called?

A
Monopoly
B
Oligopoly
C
Monopsony
D
Monotony
Solution:

A monopsony is a market condition in which there is only one buyer, the monopsonist. Like a monopoly, a monopsony also has imperfect market conditions. The difference between a monopoly and monopsony is primarily in the difference between the controlling entities. A single buyer dominates a monopsonized market while an individual seller controls a monopolized market. Monosonists are common to areas where they supply most or all of the region’s jobs.
