Answer: An Oligopolistic market.

Explanation:

An Oligopolistic market is a market where they are very few supplies of a product and as such they charge higher prices due to the reduced competition.

In such a market the firms have to be very mindful of how their actions will impact that of their competitors because with such few competitors, they could easily lose customers if another oligopoly decides to change prices for instance.

They generally avoid doing so though because a price change by one will lead to a price change by others which would end up reducing the total amount that each firm makes as the prices will usually go downwards not up unless they collude.

aniked [119]

Answer:

small; standardized; little or no

Explanation:

A perfect competition is when there are many firms in an industry selling standardised or identical goods and services. It is characterised by many buyers and sellers . Sellers have small market share because of the large number of sellers in the market. Prices are usually set by market forces. Sellers cannot influence the price their products sell for , therefore, they are price takers.

There is little or no need for advertising as all firms sell identical goods.
