The necessary condition for the perfect competition are;
Homogenous product; In the perfect competition, firm sells identical product based on color, size and quality.
A perfectly competitive firm is price taker and industry is price maker.
The profit-maximising condition is
P=MC
Price and MR are same for all unit of output.
So if firms in the perfect competition earns profit in short-run, more new firm will enter in the industry.
Hence option fifth is the correct answer.

QUESTION 7 For a perfectly competitive firm, at profit maximization market price exceeds marginal cost. total revenue is maximized. marginal revenue equals marginal cost. O production must occur where average cost is minimized.
For a perfectly competitive firm, marginal revenue equals marginal cost at 250 units of output. At 250 units, price is greater than average variable cost. It necessarily follows that the Select one: a. marginal cost curve must have an upward-sloping portion and a downward-sloping portion. b. firm must be earning a profit. c. firm should continue to produce in the short run. d. firm should shut down its operation in the short run Next page Seo w
Which of the following statements applies to a monopolist but not to a perfectly competitive firm at their profit maximizing outputs? Marginal revenue is less than price. Marginal revenue equals marginal cost. Price equals marginal cost. Average revenue equals average cost.
1 price equals marginal revenue at all output levels Question 16 4 pt The significance of the minimum point on the average variable cost curve is that: it is the point of indifference between producing at a loss and shutting down. it shows the amount of total cost incurred by a firm in the production process.! if the firm produces one more unit, its average variable cost will be less than its marginal cost. it is the profit-maximizing level of...
