“In a perfectly competitive market, firms always operate at the lowest per-unit cost." Is the preceding statement true or false? Explain your answer.
In the long run, perfectly competitive firms make zero economic profit. If this is the case, why does the firm even bother producing? Why not exit the market completely?
Firms in a perfectly competitive market are said to be "price takers" - that is, once the market determines an equilibrium price for the product, firms must accept this price.   If you sell a product in a perfect competitive market, but you are not happy with its price, would you raise the price, even by a cent?
