Discuss the long-term effects in a monopolistically competitive market if an existing firm is making profits or losses. Use graphs to help your explanations.
Monopolistic Competition a. Graphically represent a monopolistically competitive firm, using the curves that would provide information such as the profit maximizing price and quantity as well as the cost at the profit maximizing quantity. b. Show the profit maximizing price and quantity for this firm at a price of $185 and a quantity of 7500. c. Show this firm earning a profit of $45000. Make sure to solve for the numerical value for the average total cost (ATC) at the quantity of 7500. d. As this is a short run scenario, state what will happen to the product price and average costs for this firm as it transitions from the short-run to the long-run.
c-State and explain briefly 2 differences between a perfectly competitive market and a monopolistic competitive market.
Draw a digram showing the effect of a new firm entering a monopolistically competitive market. Your diagram should include new and old demand, marginal revenue, profit, MC, and ATC curves.

Price and costs Consider the diagram below depicting the demand and cost conditions faced by a monopolistically competitive firm. a. Use the graph to show how price and output will vary depending upon which point the firm produces. Indicate the levels that will be produced under profit maximization, productive efficiency, and allocative efficiency. Instructions: (1) Use the tool provided 'Profit maximizing' to plot a point showing the price-quantity combination when the firm is maximizing profit. (2) Use the tool provided 'Productive efficiency' to plot a point showing the price-quantity combination when the firm is producing the productively efficient output level. (3) Use the tool provided 'Allocative efficiency' to plot a point showing the price-quantity combination when the firm is producing the allocatively efficient output level.
