a) in the long run the firm will be producing at the point were the MR and the MC are equal, they will be producing at point Q0 and charging a price of P0 for the output.
b) The firm will be making a normal profit because the price is equal to the ATC in the market.

3) Monopolistic Competition Long-Run (7 points) The marginal costs (MC), average variable costs (AVC), and average total costs (ATC) for a monopolistically competitive firm are shown in the figure below. Price/Cost (S) a. What is the firm's profit-maximizing output level? b. What is its profit-maximizing price? c. What is the firm's economic profit? d. What would the output level be that is productively efficient (minimizes ATC)? e. At what price and output level would this outcome be allocatively efficient? (Hint...
In the long run, a monopolistically competitive firm will O Produce where price equals average cost. Earn an economic profit O Produce a greater output level than would a perfectly competitive firm Suffer a loss because of its advertising budget
36) When a monopolist sells the same product at different prices and the prices are not related to cost differences, we have B) price differentiation. D) monopoly pricing A) price discrimination C) marginal cost pricing. 37) 37) Monopolies misallocate resources because A) price does not equal marginal cost B) profits are usually positive. C) marginal cost does not equal average total cost. D) price does not equal average total cost. 38) 38) Which of the following assumptions is true about...
1l. If a monopolistically competitive firm is incurring losses, then at the profit-max a price is above the average total cost curve. b. price is below the average total cost curve c. price is equal to marginal revenue. d. price is less than marginal revenue. e. average total cost equals marginal cost. Both competitive and monopolistically competitive firms a. can maximize profit by raising price. b. cannot control or set their own price c. can maximize profit by producing to...
QUESTION 1 Which of the following is not a characteristic of the monopolistic competition market structure? Many sellers, each small in size relative to the overall market. Few sellers. Differentiated product. Easy, low-cost entry and exit. QUESTION 2 Which of the following is the best example of a monopolistic competitor? Wheat farmers. Restaurants. Air Canada. General Motors. QUESTION 3 In the long run, both monopolistic competition and perfect competition result in: a wide variety of brand-name choices for consumers. an...
Please Help Question 21 0.16 pts Examining the cost, revenue, and demand curves for a monopolistic competitor reveals that, at optimal output, the demand curve lies above the average total cost curve. Which of the following is true? O There is economic profit in the long run. Firms will enter the industry in the long run. O There is not enough information because demand is an imperfect benchmark for measuring profitability O There is an economic loss in the long...

As product differentiation decreases, ________ increases. a markup b demand inelasticity c marginal cost d demand elasticity e excess capacity A monopolistically competitive firm is inefficient because the firm a is not maximizing its profit. b earns positive economic profit in the long run. c produces an output where average total cost is not minimum. d produces where price is equal to minimum average total cost. e is producing at an output amount that corresponds to marginal cost equal to...
Cost curves, profits/losses, and long-run equilibrium: a. Draw typical short run average cost and marginal cost curves for a firm (costs on the vertical axis, q on the horizontal axis), such that marginal cost = average cost= 6 at q=10. b. Suppose this firm operates as a perfect competitor in a market with a short run equilibrium price of $5. Illustrate on your graph the area indicating the short run profit or loss experienced by this firm, given the cost...
QUESTION 5 A monopolistically competitive firm will: maximize profits by producing where MR = MC. not likely earn an economic profit in the long run. shut down in the short run if price is less than average variable cost. all of the above. QUESTION 6 A monopolistic competitive firm is inefficient because the firm: earns positive economic profit in the long run. is producing at an output corresponding to the condition that marginal cost equals price. is not maximizing its...
