Today we are going over why a sole proprietorship could be in a perfectly competitive industry
Sole proprietorships are the most common form of business structure. ... Examples of sole proprietors include small businesses such as, a local grocery store, a local clothes store, an artist, freelance writer, IT consultant, freelance graphic designer, etc
Mr. Rhoades what is a soleproprietorship
Pure or perfect competition is a theoretical market structure in which the following criteria are met: All firms sell an identical product (the product is a "commodity" or "homogeneous"). All firms are price takers (they cannot influence the market price of their product). Market share has no influence on prices.
Mr. Rhoades if those are the examples then what does a sole propietership look like in a perfectly competitive Market
Pure or perfect competition is a theoretical market structure in which the following criteria are met: All firms sell an identical product (the product is a "commodity" or "homogeneous"). All firms are price takers (they cannot influence the market price of their product). Market share has no influence on prices.
So if we compare the buisness structure with teh market structure you really don't have a sole propritership because everybody around would be selling the same thing.
Monopoly-the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service.Oligopoly-a state of limited competition, in which a market is shared by a small number of producers or sellers.monopolistic competitive-Textbook examples of industries with market structures similar to monopolistic competition include restaurants, cereal, clothing, shoes, and service industries in large cities.
If we were to have a solepropitership the best market structure to have one is a Monopolestic competitive market because there are only a few firms that own that side of the market.
