Question
Explain the implication of 'perfect knowledge about market' under perfect competition.

Answer

Perfect knowledge means that both buyers and sellers are fully informed about the market price. Therefore no firm is in a position to charge a different price and no buyer will pay a higher price. As a result a uniform price prevails in the market.
