Question
A horizontal demand curve is
Options:
A .  of unitary elasticity
B .  ralatively elastic
C .  perfectly inelastic
D .  perfectly elastic
Answer: Option D
Answer: (d)
The demand curve facing a perfectly competitive firm is flat or horizontal. This is because all firms in perfect competition are by definition selling an identical (homogeneous) product.
A horizontal demand curve is a flat curve with a slope of zero. It is a perfectly elastic demand curve. Because the slope of the curve is zero, it is impossible for the price to change in the market.
