Explain how competition or lack thereof will impact supply and/or demand in this market structure.
In a competitive market, increased competition generally leads to an increase in market supply, causing prices to decrease due to firms needing to lower prices to attract customers, while a lack of competition (like a monopoly) allows a single firm to control supply and potentially raise prices significantly, impacting demand by making the product less accessible to consumers due to higher costs; essentially, more competition means greater pressure on firms to lower prices and increase supply to stay competitive, whereas a lack of competition allows a firm to restrict supply and set higher prices

What is an advantage or disadvantage of sole proprietorship?
A major advantage of a sole proprietorship is that the owner has complete control over the business, making all decisions and keeping all profits, while a significant disadvantage is unlimited personal liability, meaning the owner is personally responsible for all business debts and legal issues.
