a) Why is a monopolistically competitive firm less efficient than a perfectly competitive firm? It produces at an output that is lower than its minimum efficient scale (MES) It earns positive economic profits in the long run It deters entry of new firms by putting up entry barriers All of the answers are correct b) Suppose a monopolistically competitive firm has MC=4Q+5. Its demand is P=145-3Q and marginal revenue is MR=145-6Q. What is its profit-maximizing output level? 17 14 16...

4. Is monopolistic competition efficient? Suppose that a firm produces polo shirts in a monopolistically competitive market. The following graph shows its demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve. Place a black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the long-run monopolistically competitive equilibrium price and quantity for this firm.
