Define perfect competition.
2Answer
Perfect competition is a market structure characterized by the following key features:
- Large number of buyers and sellers: No single buyer or seller can influence market price.
- Homogeneous products: All firms produce identical goods (perfect substitutes).
- Perfect knowledge: All market participants have complete information about prices and products.
- Free entry and exit: Firms can enter or leave the market without barriers.
- Price takers: Individual firms sell at the prevailing market price (demand curve is perfectly elastic, a horizontal line at market price).
In this structure, firms are price takers and produce where P = MR = AR (marginal revenue equals average revenue equals price). The market equilibrium is determined by the intersection of industry supply and demand curves.
