The market is the collection of buyers and sellers. It is the system in which buyers and sellers exchange goods and services in terms of money. There are different forms of markets based on various characteristics. Perfect competition is the market form with a large number of buyers and sellers. The firms produce homogeneous products and they are price takers. There are free entry and exit in the market without any government regulation.

- In perfect competition marginal cost curve of a firm shows supply curve of the firm in short run. True/False. Elaborate your answer theoreticallya andgraphically.Illustrate short run profit maximization scenerio of a competitive firm in case of loss.In a price-taker market, if a business produces efficiently (i.e., that is, where marginal revenues = marginal costs), the firm will be able to make at least a normal profit. True of False. Explain. All firms produce where MR=MC. Price takers produce and price where P=ATC=MC=MR. That is the "normal profit" level. Profits above that level are considered "economic profits." Review economic profits, normal profits, explicit costs, and implicit costs. Why is 'normal profit' considered to be a cost, in economics?
