3. Is monopolistic competition efficient? Suppose that a firm produces baseball bats in a monopolistically competitive market. The following graph shows its demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve. Place a black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the long-run monopolistically competitive equilibrium price and quantity for this firm. Next, place a grey point (star symbol) to indicate the minimum average total cost the firm faces and the quantity associated with...

Long-Run Long-Run Marginal Cost Average Cost Price, Cost Duc= ARC ^ MPMC Qo Q7 Quantity 5. In the previous hypothetical figure, we see a typical monopolistically compet- itive firm in long-run equilibrium. Answer the following questions about its market position. a. What price will the monopolistic competitor set in the long run? What will be its output rate? b. What profit will the firm earn, a normal profit or an economic profit? c. If the...

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.
