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.

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants

A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of a monopoly is a utility company

An Oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry. While, a monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.

Oligopolies are characterised by:

price setting firms
profit maximisation
high barriers to entry or exit of firms
downward sloping demand curve

wgu A real estate agent representing the buyer tells the seller that the buyer would be willing to pay much more than the asking

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is Duty of loyalty.

Explanation:

The corporate sphere bears an important analogy with the contractual one, in the sense that in both the agreements of the parties and the provisions of the law must be fulfilled, that is, there is a duty of loyalty of the partners and a duty of loyalty of the administrators. However, any action carried out by a subject, over and above private covenants or regulatory provisions, must follow a standard of conduct that imposes a certain ethical behavior in legal relationships, that of good faith.

Therefore, and without delving into the normative level, noting that behaving under the strict principle of good faith with society would be the partner's main duty. Here it is possible to know the concrete scope of this principle as a source of special duties for the parties in the corporate sphere. Thus, a duty-generating principle is derived from it: cooperation, information and protection.
