Firm A, one firm in a perfectly competitive industry, faces higher costs of production. As a result, will consumers end up paying higher prices? A) Yes, because Firm A likely offers a differentiated product that consumers cannot get from other firms. B) No, because in a perfectly competitive industry, the more efficient firms with lower costs will drive Firm A out of the market. C) Yes, because Firm A is the only firm in the industry, so consumers must purchase products from Firm A at increased prices. D) No, because it is likely illegal to raise prices to cover the higher costs.
