in all types of economies.
This is a sample answer.
Your challenge
This answer contains some relevant content. The links to the market structure are an effective
way of establishing whether consumers benefit. The final paragraph should be evaluative. There
are two hints at evaluation (small firms may be a monopoly; small firms may operate in a niche
market) but these hints are not adequate as an evaluation. A better answer will be given to you
- but write yours out first.
