choas69 very good question.
xemex131 the demand curve for a perfectly competitive market is a horizontal line, increase in demand cannot lead to a price increase
abinavas I am confused now with the Market Price Increase in Perfect Competition? Insights, please?
sshetty2 The horizontal demand curve shifts upward due to an increase in demand meaning that the price on the y axis goes up
EEEEvia I thought the price will not be affected
