If equilibrium is achieved in a competitive market the deadweight loss will equal the sum of consumer surplus and producer surpl
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

there is no deadweight loss.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.

This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.

Generally, a perfectly competitive market is characterized by the following features;

1. Perfect information.

2. No barriers, it is typically free.

3. Equilibrium price and quantity.

4. Many buyers and sellers.

5. Homogeneous products.

Examples of a perfectly competitive market are the Agricultural sector, e-commerce and the foreign exchange market.

Hence, if equilibrium is achieved in a competitive market then, there is no deadweight loss i.e a loss of economic efficiency due to a lack of balance in competing economical influences for goods or services.

Suppose the working-age population of a fictional economy falls into the following categories:
aniked [119]

Answer:

The right solution is:

(a) 120

(b) 20%

Explanation:

Given that,

Full time employed,

= 75

Part time employed,

= 25

Total unemployed,

= 20

(a)

The total employed will be:

= Full \ time + Part \ time

= 75+25

= 100

Now,

Labor force will be:

= Total \ employed+Total \ unemployed

= 100+20

= 120

(b)

The unemployment rate will be:

= \frac{Total \ unemployment}{Labor \ force}\times 100

= \frac{20}{100}\times  100

= 0.2\times 100

= 20 (%)
