the long run.

and many firms compete by selling similar, but not identical products
(starbucks sells coffee and competes in the coffee market against other firms selling coffee but
aren't the same)

product efficiency correct answers refers to producing items at the lowest possible cost

allocative efficiency correct answers refers to producing all goods up to the point where the
marginal benefit to consumers is just equal to the marginal cost to firms
