Identify the seven features of perfectly competitive free markets

Please provide the best answer for the statement.


Answer: First, there are many buyers and sellers and none of them have a substantial market share. Second, all buyers and sellers can freely enter and leave the market. Third, each buyer and seller has full knowledge about what other buyers and sellers are doing, including price, quantities, and the quality of the goods being bought and sold. Fourth, the goods sold in the market are all so similar that no one cares who buys and who sells. Fifth, the costs and benefits of producing or using the goods exchanged are placed entirely on those buying or selling the goods, not on external parties. Sixth, all buyers and sellers are utility maximizers, that is, each tries to get as much as possible for as little as possible. Finally, there are no external parties, such as governments, trying to regulate things like price, quantity, or quality of any goods being bought or sold.
