4) Describe the demand curve facing a monopolistic competitive market and how it differs from that facing a firm in a purely competitive market.
5) How can a firm be able to sustain itself while differentiating itself from its competitors?
4. The demand curve of a monopolistic firm is downward sloping to the right because the firm has market power that is they are price makers not price taker.
In perfectly competitive market the demand curve of an individual firm is represented by a straight horizontal line which is parallel to the horizontal axis. Since, the price is constant.
5. When a firm is differentiating it self from its competitors then, the firm can differentiate their product in the following
Product differentiation - features, durability, reliability,
performance wtc
Service differentiation - delivery, after sales wtc
Channel differentiation
Relationship differentiation
Reputation or image differentiation
Price differentiation
With price differentiation we can definitely expand our market
outreach but in order to sustain in the long run we have to create
a brand image that we are different for example When we hear about
lowest price the first name that comes to our mind is Wal-Mart.
They are able to do so through their differentiation strategy.

1) List the five characteristics of monopolistic competitive market. 2) Explain the difference between a monopoly and a monopolistic competitive market. 3) How are they similar, and how are they different? 4) Describe the demand curve facing a monopolistic competitive market and how it differs from that facing a firm in a purely competitive market. 5) How can a firm be able to sustain itself while differentiating itself from its competitors?
1) List the five characteristics of pure monopoly. 2) Describe the demand curve facing a pure monopoly and how it differs from that facing a firm in a purely competitive market. 3) Explain why the marginal revenue is equal to the price in pure competition but not in monopoly.
4 Describe why product pricing differs in a competitive versus an imperfect (monopolistic) market. How might firms differentiate their products in a competitive market and why would such a strategy be advantageous?
How does the demand curve faced by the firm in a purely competitive market differ from the demand curve faced by a firm participating in a monopolistically competitive market? How might that impact the price of the product in the the marketplace and the quantity the firm produces?
1. How does the product in a monopolistic competition compare with the product in a competitive market? 2. How does the seller’s demand curve in a monopolistic competition compare with the seller’s demand curve in competition? 3. Why will an monopolistic competitive firm only lose some of its customers, but not all when it raises its price? 4. What feature is the “hallmark” in monopolistic competition? 5. What short-run profit maximizing rule do monopolistic competitive firms follow? 6. If economic...

The demand curve in a market with a purely competitive industry is while the demand curve to a single firm in that industry is Multiple Choice o perfectly elastic downloping O perfectly school o downloping, vertical < Prev 3 of 25 Next >
draw the demand curve facing a firm in a competitive market and explain why it has such a shape?
2) Why is the firm’s demand curve flatter than the total market demand curve in monopolistic competition? Suppose a monopolistically competitive firm is making a profit in the short run. What will happen to its demand curve in long run equilibrium ? What could this firm do to affect what happens to its demand curve? Explain in detail.
This homework assignment compares a competitive market with a monopolistic market. The market demand curve is P 122-¼Q. For each firm, marginal oosts are 20 + qi50 and fixed costs are 1 00. We assume first that the market is competitive. Module 8explains the competitive pricing procedure. Wederive the long-run price from the firms' cost curve competitive firms price at long-run minimum average costs. Question: Why is this relation true? Answer: Decreasing marginal utility implies an upward sloping marginal cost...
