Answer #1

True.

Perfect competition assumes that the firms producing in the market will produce at a point where all the firms in the market will be getting the same profit and the price will be set by the market, the cost structure of the firms are same. The firms in the market can only manage to change the quantity of the goods they are supplying and will not change the cost of producing that good. if the price decreased some firms will leave the market, now if some firm can themselves reduce the cost because they have a lower cost producing the goods they will lead to an oligopoly or a monopoly getting considerable economies of scale. this will change the whole structure of the market. the statement is true.
