Firms are also free to enter and exit the market, which means that if a firm is making supernormal profits, other firms will enter the market and compete away those profits. Similarly, if a firm is making losses, it will exit the market.<\/p>\n<p>Perfect knowledge means that all firms and consumers have perfect information about prices, costs, and technology. This means that firms cannot charge a price above the market price, and consumers cannot buy goods at a price below the market price.<\/p>\n<p>Perfect mobility of factors means that factors of production (such as labor and capital) can move freely between firms and industries. This means that if a firm is making supernormal profits, it will attract more factors of production, which will increase its costs and reduce its profits.
