Answer #1

Monopolistic competition and Perfect competition:

Allocative efficiency in the long run:

Monopolistic competition= No, Firms are not producing where P=MC since demand curve faced by the firm is Downward sloping. P>MC in the long run.

Perfect competition= Yes, firms are allocative efficient as P= MC in the long run.

Productive efficiency:

Monopolistic competition= No, since the demand curve is downward sloping it doesn't meet the minimum level of LRATC. So productive efficiency is not there. So there is excess capacity.

Perfect competition= Yes, P= Minimum LRATC as individual firms take price as given.
