Answer: demand curve is flatter.
Explanation:
A monopolistic market is defined as there are large number of sellers of a selling close substitute goods. The market demand curve is downward sloping. But each individual firm faces the residual demand. A demand curve of a firm in a monopolistic competition is called residual demand curve, a demand curve which shows the demand for product of one particular firm. A residual demand curve is flatter than the market demand curve because individual firm demand is more elastic than market demand.
On the other hand, in a monopoly market there is only one firm selling a good. There is no substitue for the good. The firm demand curve is same as market demand curve. So, it is steeper than the demand curve of a firm in monopolistically competitive market.

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.
