The essence of the question is about competitive markets. This is wrong because the example above is not a competitive market because the entry of goods is not free. And also not all companies can enter this market freely, therefore this market cannot be said to be a competitive market. Because there are only one distributor and no other competitors.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

The competitive market refers to a market characterized by a high level of competition. There are a large number of potential buyers and sellers, all of whom are individually powerless to influence market prices.

  • There are no external interventions that can affect the performance of market mechanisms.

<h3>Types of markets the imperfect competition: </h3>

  • Oligopoly: There are several sellers who have more than two and fewer than ten and act in the competition.

This scenario that you have presented us with is not an example of a competitive market because there is no free entry. Because firms cannot freely enter this market, this cannot be said to be competitive, because there are no companies to compete if there is only one firm involved. </span>
