प्रश्न

Explain ‘large number of buyers and sellers' features of a perfectly competitive market.

Explain the implication of large number of buyers in a perfectly competitive market

There are a large number of buyers in a perfectly competitive market. Explain the significance of this feature.

उत्तर

A perfectly competitive market is a market which consists of buyers and sellers. They produce a homogeneous product. When the number of buyers is more, the demand of an individual buyer is only a small portion of the market demand. Individual buyers cannot influence the market price of a good by varying their demands, and thus, an individual buyer is a price taker and not a price maker.
