1. Characteristics of competitive markets The model of
competitive markets relies on these three core assumptions:
1. There must be many buyers and sellers—a few players can't
dominate the market.
2. Firms must produce an identical product—buyers must regard
all sellers' products as equivalent.
3. Firms and resources must be fully mobile, allowing free entry
into and exit from the industry.
The first two conditions imply that all consumers and firms are
price takers. While the third is not necessary...

What assumptions are necessary for a market to be perfectly
competitive? Why each of these assumptions seem important to you.
For a perfectly competitive firm following information are
available: Q = 100 units; AC = Taka 25, AVC =Taka 10; P = Taka 20.
Based on the on the information provide your recommendation for the
firm.

In the traditional market model, there are major assumptions
that impact the ability of the model to function efficiently. So
far in the course, we have reviewed the first eight of these
assumptions. It is important to relate them to the current
provision of healthcare to determine the workability of the
traditional market model.
Tasks:
List the first eight assumptions of the free market.
Discuss how each assumption is important.
Explain your conclusions for each of the assumptions relating
to...

Why do we model a competitive firm with assumptions that seem to
be unrealistic? Why do we see that marginal cost tends to increase
with each unit of output? Why do we observe a U-shaped Average Cost
Curve? Why is it the Marginal Revenue equal to the Price? What does
it mean that the Marginal Revenue curve is a flat horizontal curve?
Why do we assume that companies are profit-maximizing institutions?
After all, they may care about something else besides...
Diagram a model of a perfectly competitive market and a separate
model of a firm experiencing economic profits. Explain and
illustrate on your models the changes that take place in the long
run. Be sure to explain why any changes take place.
