Fred Heyach and Gord Murdoll are discussing whether or not competitive markets use resources efficiently. Heyach says, "Competition must lead to the efficient allocation of resources. Consumers are willing to pay more for the goods they want most, so producers of those goods can outbid other producers for the resources to make them. Murdoll replies, "At any one point in time the market might allocate resources efficiently given consumers’ preferences, but as consumers change their minds about which goods they want, the allocation of resources becomes inefficient. " Are these statements correct or incorrect Heyach Murdoll （） ①A. Correct Incorrect ②B. IncorrectCorrect ③C. IncorrectIncorrect
A. ①
B. ②
C. ③
参考答案：A
解析：
Heyach’s statement is correct but Murdoll’s statement is incorrect. Competitive forces adjust the allocation of resources to changes in consumer preferences. If consumers’ demand for a product decreases, the resources that were being used to produce it are diverted to the production of other goods that are in greater demand.
