Answer:

B. it is a benchmark-a market with the maximum possible competition—that economists use to evaluate actual markets that are not perfectly competitive.

Explanation:

In a perfect market information is equally available to all players in the market and as such there is no undue advantage by any of the players.

Market forces are therefore controlled by forces of demand and supply. No one entity has the power to control the market.

This is a theoretical situation as all market in real life are imperfect.

However economists prefer to use the perfect market because it is used as a benchmark of what a market should be with perfect competition.

Real markets are compared to the perfect market to see how effective they are.

mina [271]

Answer:

The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

Benchmarking is a continuous process by which the products, services or work processes of leading companies are taken as a reference, to compare them with those of your own company and then make improvements and implement them.

It is not about copying what your competition is doing, but learning what leaders are doing to implement it in your company by adding improvements. If we take as a reference those who stand out in the area that we want to improve and study their strategies, methods and techniques to subsequently improve and adapt them to our company, we will achieve a high level of competitiveness.
