In a perfectly competitive market, the firm is a price taker because _____.

the price is dictated by the largest firm in the market, and if a given firm lowers its price other firms will conspire against it

the firms in perfect competition are interdependent and if one firm charges a lower price, other firms will also lower their prices and all firms will incur an economic loss

the price in the market is the price that maximizes each firm's producer surplus

each firm makes a slightly different product

it produces only a tiny proportion of the total output of a particular good and buyers are well informed about the prices of other firms
