How would you describe this demand curve? |
|
|
|
|
flat |
|
|
|
inelastic |
|
|
|
perfectly elastic |
|
|
|
unitary elastic |
|

What reason would you give to justify your answer to Question 3? |
|
|
|
The flat demand curve indicates the good has perfect substitutes that cannot be differentiated from similar goods produced by other firms. |
|
|
|
The products are the same. |
|
|
|
The goods are produced by Government owned firms and there is no competition permitted. |
|
|
|
My teacher told me it was the case. |

How would you describe the barriers to entry into a perfectly competitive market? |

How would you describe the nature of the product produced in a perfectly competitive market? |
|
|
|
All firms in the market produce identical products (homogeneous). |
|
|
|
The product of one firm is very similar to the product of another firm, but the two can be differentiated by consumers (heterogeneous). |
|
|
|
The product is technologically advanced and most consumers, unless they have a degree in rocket science can't tell one from another. |
|
|
|
The product comes uniform packaging and is sold by weight. |

How much control over price does a supplier in a perfectly competitive market have? |
|
|
|
None; all firms have a small share of the total market and all firms are therefore ''price takers''. |
|
|
|
Some, although this will require extensive advertising to convince consumers there is a difference between the products of two different firms. |
|
|
|
A reasonable amount; in established markets like these consumers have long term experience of the product and ''brand loyalty'' has developed over time. |
|
|
|
Total control; consumers have no other supplier to turn to; the firm is therefore a ''price maker''. |
