Arrow · Answer 1

Perfect competition

Explanation:

Perfect competition occurs when there are many buyers and sellers in the market, information on products is available, and there is little differentiation between products.

This results in high competition between the firm's in the market as they try to gain market share.

No firm is able to influence the market alone. There are also no barriers to entry and exit in this scenario because no firm can claim a large market share.

In this type of market the laws of sand and supply apply. That is the higher the price the less will be demanded, and the higher the price the more goods will be supplied.
