When a firm is called 'price-taker'?
In a perfectly competitive market, firms are price-takers. For a price-taking firm, average revenue is equal to market price and marginal revenue is equal to market price.
Draw average revenue and marginal revenue curves in a single diagram of a firm which can sell more units of a good only by lowering the price of that good. Explain.
8 units of a good are demanded at a price of Rs. 7 per unit. Price elasticity of demand is (-)1. How many units will be demanded if the price rises to Rs. 8 per unit? Use expenditure approach of price elasticity of demand to answer this question.
Explain the implication of 'freedom of entry and exit to the firms' under perfect competition.
