Question

Name the market in which there is a single buyer and many sellers. Give an example.

Answer 1

A market in which there is a single buyer and many sellers is called a monopsony. A classic example of this structure is the government's purchasing of military equipment, such as fighter jets and tanks. In this scenario, the national government serves as the sole legal buyer in the country, while various private military contractors and aerospace corporations compete as sellers for the government’s purchasing contract.
