Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of a perfectly competitive market, where one key assumption is that the product is homogeneous or identical.
Recognize that this assumption means the product is perceived as the same by all participants in the market, which includes both buyers and sellers.
Recall that if only sellers or only buyers thought the product was identical, the market would not be perfectly competitive because the other group might differentiate the product.
Therefore, the product must be identical in the minds of all buyers and sellers to ensure no one has a preference for one product over another based on differences.
Conclude that the correct assumption is that the product is identical in the minds of all buyers and sellers in a perfectly competitive market.
