Eskom is one of the natural monopolies that may be found in South Africa. See the definition of Natural Monopoly below.

A natural monopoly occurs when there is an instance in which it is economically viable and better for a single entity to be in full and sole control of the production of a product or service.

The efficient quantity of a good is the amount that makes the good's marginal benefit equal to its marginal cost of production.

Monopoly quantity on the other hand is the point where marginal revenue exceeds the marginal cost, thus requiring the firm to produce the extra unit.

Monopolies are considered to be detrimental to consumers because it prevents competition which helps with increasing efficiency and lowering costs.

One of the effects of the lockdown on Eskom's operation is that it led to the loss of demand for electricity in the region.

CASE SCENARIO 2

Chad is a 9 year old Chinese-Filipino, high school student, who was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when he was 3 months old. While growing up, he has been required to go to the hospital every other month. He now only has to go about once or twice a year. Chad comes into see you at his mom’s request. His mom, Sylvia, is concerned about the fact that Chad is refusing to take his medication. She has noticed that Chad is starting to cough more and gets exhausted much easier. He stopped taking the medication about two months after Kyle, a friend that Chad had met in the hospital, died. Chad had maintained a friendship with Kyle for about 2 years. Chad respected Kyle because he was one of the few people who didn’t consider him a foreigner, a common occurrence despite the fact that his ancestors immigrated to the Phil. in the late 1800’s. Kyle had been waiting for a lung transplant, and Chad had observed him rapidly decline in health. Chad refused to discuss Kyle’s death with his mother. And recently, there were long periods of time when he wouldn’t speak to her at all.

In a phone conversation with Sylvia, you learned that after Kyle’s funeral, Sylvia had hoped that Chad could spend the summer with his father (Kevin) and older brother David (15) who live in another state. Kevin owns a small car dealership and David works with him detailing the cars on the lot. The dealership has been successful enough to pay for the numerous surgeries and maintain both middle class households. Kevin and Sylvia divorced when Chad was 6. When Sylvia discussed the idea of Chad coming for the summer, Kevin said he didn’t feel it would be a good idea because of animosity between David and Chad. In the initial session, Sylvia explained that “David has always felt that I favored Chad because I spent so much time with him. I had to because of his health, but there still is a lot of jealousy.
