- Which of the following is a defining characteristic of all perfectly competitive markets? Group of answer choices Each firm in the market faces a perfectly inelastic demand curve. All firms sell the same standardized product. Consumers display strong brand loyalty. The market demand curve is perfectly elastic.arrow_forwardManagers of perfectly competitive firms must be cautious when deciding to permanently expand (or contract) the scale of production. What factors should go into the decision to expand the scale of production if the market price of your product increases? (select all that apply) A. Whether your product has a complement in consumption B. If the scale expansion is appropriate and not in excess C. If other firms are likely to enter the market D.
