Answer:

The statements that are correct about money are

(1) With the use of money, double coincidence of wants is not necessary in an exchange.

(2) With the use of money, the cost of looking for trading partners can be lowered.

Option: (A)

Explanation:

The concept of using money having a predefined value emerged from the idea of how convenient it would be to have a common commodity of exchange that could be used in exchange for anything and everything offered for sale. After the barter system eventually came to an end, the process of determining monetary values of commodities of day to day use began and inveterated gradually. As the prevalence of the use of common money grew, the necessity of double coincidence of wants ended soon. People who wanted to exchange wheat for maize no longer had to wait to come across someone who wanted to exchange maize for wheat.

With the introduction of money and an increase in its use, the time and efforts required to find a partner to trade with decreased dramatically. This made transactions more convenient and affordable and more people began to involve themselves in trading activities. The use of money not only dispensed ease of doing business but also helped in establishing faith and reliability among trading partners.

Answer:

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

Perfectly competitive market consists of a large number of firms, and each firm is small relative to the entire market. This makes firms unable to set the prices for their goods.

It is the monopoly and oligopoly market structure that is characterised by high entry and exit into the market
