The market is previously perfectly competitive and in later stage it turns into a monopolistically competitive one. Consumer surplus is reduced during this transformation because the price is increased and the quantity is reduced. for the same reason producer surplus is increased during this transformation
However it is also to be noted that decline in the consumer surplus is greater than the increase in producer surplus which implies that social surplus overall reduces. Due to this there is a creation of deadweight loss.
Monopolistic Competition Suppose a perfectly competitive market for hot-dog stands in New York City changes when gourme...
Consider the daily market for hot dogs in a small city. Suppose that this market is in long-run competitive equilibrium with many hot dog stands in the city, each one selling the same kind of hot dogs. Therefore, each vendor is a price taker and possesses no market power. The following graph shows the demand (D) and supply curves (S = MC) in the market for hot dogs. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the market price...
Assume that one of the hot dog vendors successfully lobbies the city council to obtain the exclusive right to sell hot dogs within the city limits. This firm buys up all the rest of the hot dog vendors in the city and operates as a monopoly. Assume that this change doesn't affect demand and that the new monopoly's marginal-cost curve corresponds exactly to the supply curve on the previous graph. Under this assumption, the following graph shows the demand (D),...

Question # 4 The hot pretzel stands operating in New York City are considered to be an example of a perfectly competitive market. Suppose that there are 10,000 hot pretzel stands operating in New York City. Each stand has the usual U-shaped average total cost curve. The market demand curve for pretzels slopes downward and the market for pretzels is in long-run equilibrium. a. Draw the current equilibrium, using graphs for the entire market and for an individual pretzel stand....
