Answer:

c. faces a downward-sloping demand curve for its product

Explanation:

Perfect Competition is a market form, having large no. of sellers, selling homogeneous products at constant prices. So, constant prices imply that their demand curve is horizontal, perfectly elastic.

Monopolistic Competition is a market form, having many sellers, selling slightly differentiated products which are incomplete substitutes of each other. The prices also vary from firm to firm, depending on product quality. So, these firms have usual downward sloping curve, denoting price-demand inverse relationship.

Explanation:

The Financial Statement effects of each transaction is a reflection of how each transaction affects at least two opposite elements of the financial statement.  Every transaction affects the elements of the financial statement in one way or another, which enables the accounting equation to remain in balance.

For example, a transaction may increase the assets and also increase either the liabilities or equity side of the balance sheet.

In our example, the transactions affected only the balance sheet.  This means that each transaction increases or decreases the assets, liabilities, or equity sections.
