Question 17
A perfectly competitive firm is a price taker.
This implies that it has to accept the price as decided by the market.
Since, the price is given, each successive unit sold brings in the same amount.
In other words, if market price is $9 per unit then each successive unit sold by perfectly competitive firm will bring in $9 as additional revenue.
This additional revenue is referred to as marginall revenue.
So,
In case of perfect competition, the marginal revenue of a firm always equals the product price.
Hence, the correct answer is the option (A).
