If a monopolistically competitive firm is producing the profit-maximizing level of output and is earning an economic profit in the short run:
Select one:
a. marginal revenue is less than marginal cost.
b. price is less than average total costs.
c. price is less than marginal cost.
d. marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
Answer: marginal revenue equals marginal cost
Monopolistic competitive market is a form of market that sells differentiated products. Profit maximising level of monopolistic competitive market can be determined at a point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.

a monopolistically competitive firm maximizes profit in the short run by producing where price is a greater than marginal cost b less than marginal revenue c less than average revenue d less than marginal cost
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...
what is the profit-maximizing output condition that a monopolistically competitive firm must satisfy? a) price charged is greater than ATC b) price charged is equal to ATC c) price is less than marginal revenue d) marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost
A profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market is currently producing 100 units of output. It has average revenue so $10, average total cost of $8 and fixed cost of $200. a. what is the profit?b. what is the marginal cost?c. what is its average variable cost?d. is the efficent scale of the firm more than, less than, or equal to 100 units?
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...

At what output level would a profit-maximizing perfectly competitive firm NEVER operate at? a. at an output level where it would lose more than its total fixed costs b. at an output level where it was NOT earning a positive economic profit c. at an output level where it was NOT earning a zero economic profit d. at an output level where it was NOT earning an accounting profit
The graph below represents the costs of production for a monopolistically competitive firm. Assuming the firm is producing at the profit-maximizing level of output, (Q*,P*) , where Q = 40 and P * =$16 . Assume average cost is $14.50 Question 9 The graph below represents the costs of production for a monopolisticall competitive firm. Assuming the firm is producing at the profit-maximizing level of output, (Q.,P), where Qu=40 and P =$16. Assume average cost is $14.50. profit-$__(Please only answer...
If a competitive firm's marginal costs always increase with output, then at the profit maximizing output level, producer surplus is Select one: a. zero because marginal costs equal marginal revenue. b. zero because price equals marginal costs. c. positive because price exceeds average variable costs. d. positive because price exceeds average total costs. e. positive because revenues are increasing faster than variable costs
1.If a cartel firm is producing a quantity at which the marginal revenue is $2 and the marginal cost is $2, the firm a. is producing the agreed upon quantity b. has erected a barrier to entry c. is producing less than the agreed upon quantity d. has acted in self-interest 2.If a monopolist is producing the profit-maximizing output level and at this output level, the marginal cost is 4 and the profit-maximizing price is $9, what is the make...
