उत्तर
The price of the commodity is determined by the interaction of market demand and market supply. So, the market or the industry is the price-maker. However, no individual firm in this industry can influence this price because of its insignificant market share. It only has to accept the market-determined price and can sell any amount of the commodity. So firm is the price-taker. Therefore, the statement is to be defended.
