ABC Inc has captured the market for school glue. It is preferred by both students and parents alike. It takes very little capitalization to enter the market but nobody successfully does. The glue clearly needs no patents or secret formulas. This type of market is called: pure or perfect competition. asymmetric oligopoly. competitive monopoly. None of the above described the appropriate market structure in this case

Answer:

None of the above described the appropriate market structure in this case

Step-by-step explanation:

The market is an example of a monopolistic competition

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services

A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry

An Oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry
