- Graphically depict a purely competitive firm in the short-run. You can have the firm making a profit or loss in the short-run. Brief explanation and graphs required.arrow_forwardPerfect competition is an extremely rare type of market in the real world. This is because the conditions necessary for perfect competition are difficult to meet. Write about an example of perfect competition (or at least a market that is very close to perfect competition). Find an example of a market that seems to be perfectly competitive. Explain how your example satisfies the four conditions necessary for perfect competition. Do sellers in the market you’ve described brand themselves to consumers? Does this support the idea that this market is perfectly competitive? Explain. Do different sellers in the market you’ve described charge different prices for their product? Does your answer support the idea that this market is perfectly competitive? Explain. Does it seem as if the example you mentioned is allocatively efficient? In other words, does the market produce enough of this good (or does it produce too much or too little)? Explain.arrow_forwardBriefly explain what the market will illustrate when perfectly competitive firms produce at the quantity where P = MC and explain why this happens. Hint: Efficiencyarrow_forward
