उत्तर
- Large Number of Buyers and Sellers: The market price cannot be influenced by any single buyer or seller because of the large number of participants. Each firm contributes so little to overall output that changes in supply have little effect on market price. Similarly, individual buyers cannot impact demand. As a result, each firm is a price taker.
- Homogeneous Product: All firms offer identical or completely interchangeable items. There is no difference in quality, brand, or features, and purchasers are indifferent about the seller. As a result, a uniform pricing prevails in the market because no firm can charge more than another.
- Free Entry and Exit: Firms have the freedom to enter and exit the market without any legal, financial, or technical barriers. If firms make excessive profits, more firms enter the market, increasing supply and driving down prices. Firms that incur losses exit the market, reducing supply and raising prices. This system ensures that profits remain typical in the long run.
- Perfect mobility: Land, labour, and capital can freely flow between enterprises and industries. This mobility ensures that resources are allocated efficiently by shifting them to the most productive locations. It also promotes the entry and exit of enterprises.
- Perfect Knowledge: Buyers and sellers have complete knowledge about product prices, quality, and market conditions. No business may charge more than the market price, and customers will not pay more than necessary. Firms also understand the most efficient production procedures, resulting in similar cost structures.
- Absence of Selling Cost: Assuming no transportation costs, the price is constant for all buyers, regardless of location. If transportation expenses didn’t exist, retailers closer to the buyer could charge less. This assumption contributes to a market-wide price uniformity.
