What is Economics??????
1. 2) competition

2. 3) requiring content labels on food products

3. 1) perfect competitors, monopolistic competitors, and monopolists

4. 2) oligopolistic industry

5. 3) monopoly



1 and 2 you got right but the rest were wrong.



-----



#3 is choice 1 because all market types maximize profits at mc=mr not just perfect competition



#4 is a oligopolistic industry because typically you have only a few bus companies in any given area.



#5 is monopoly because the barrier to entry are so high there is only one seller in that market.
