Answer #1

In the perfect competition the individual demand curve is perfectly elastic and the it is horizontal to the X axis, in the monopolistic competition the demand curve is downward sloping and it usually shows the negative relationship between the price and the quantity demanded. In the perfect competition the demand curve itself is the marginal revenue curve, the demand curve and the marginal revenue curve are the same. And in the monopolistic competition the marginal revenue curve lies below the demand curve. This is because the firm has to lower the prices to increase the sales. In the perfect competition the firms are price takers and the price will be equal to the marginal cost so the demand curve is also the marginal revenue curve.
