Reason- there are a large number of sellers, corporations may enter and leave the market with relative ease, items are indistinguishable from one vendor to the next, and vendors are price takers. Question- 02 Effect for the sales- When it comes to perfect competition all sellers are price takers. It means they have to stick with the market price. If they increase the price the seller will not be able to achieve its sales target because prices of other sellers are relatively cheap compared to him as a result sale will decrease. Price elasticity demand consequence- it has elastic demand because according to the scenario we are discussing about Oliver’s milk not milk as a whole. Question 06 1. Quantity of Oliver’s milk- the quantity producing has been increased due to increased supply of the farm gate market. 2. Price of Oliver’s milk- it has been decreased because of the increase of the supply in market. Oliver is a price taker therefore he has to be stick with the existing marketing price otherwise he will lose his sales. 3. Economic profit for Oliver’s dairy farm- Economic profits has been increased due to the increased in production and the cost reduction. This is all because of increase in the supply. Question 07 Because of the good signal that is sent by the economic profits, more producers will enter the farm gate milk sector. This is due to the fact that economic earnings generate positive signals. Once they arrived, prices started to decrease even more, and as a consequence of it, profits started to decrease as well. As a result of earnings starting to decrease, some companies started to leave the sector. As a result, throughout the course of a longer period of time, only typical gains will be seen. Question 08 It is entirely up to him to decide whether or not the business should close, and having normal profits or zero profits does not mean that there are no profits; rather, it indicates that he may have a profit that is sufficient to cover his opportunity cost. Question 09 Keep his costs at the minimum level. Produce good quality goods Adapt newest technology Produce more products Achieve economies of scales
