Businesses are necessary to hire, organize, and supply workers.
Answer:
The answer is because of product differentiation
Explanation:
Under monopolistic competition, the sellers' product are differentiated from one another and this gives the sellers the power to influence prices.
Like perfect competition, the market has many buyers and sellers, free entry and exit but the major difference between the two is the product differentiation.
For example in the mobile phone market, we have Samsung, Infinix, Iphones, Oppo etc. They are all mobile phones but they are different from from one another in the aspect of specifications. iPhones usually charge highest. There is customers' loyalty in this market.
Answer:
d. the oligopolists earn the highest profit when they cooperate and behave like a monopolist.
Explanation:
An oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry.
When oligopoly firms come together and agree to set a price, they are known as cartels and are acting as a monopoly. Firms in a cartel earn the highest profit because they act as a monopoly compared to when they aren't in a cartel and each firm sets their own prices to maximise profit. In a case where firms in an oligopoly do not form a cartel, they engage in price wars and other forms of competition which might make firms earn lower profits compared to when they are in a cartel.
Collusive agreements aren't always binding. Firms might have incentives to cheat on the agreement if the payoff from cheating is higher than not cheating.
