If the firms in a monopolistically competitive market are earning economic profits or losses in the short run, would you expect them to continue doing so in the long run? Why?
Continuing with the scenario in question 1, in the long run, the positive economic profits that the monopolistic competitor earns will attract a response either from existing firms in the industry or film outside. As those films capture the original films profit, what will happen to the original films profit-maximizing price and output levels?

Suppose that, due to a successful advertising campaign, a monopolistic competitor experiences an increase in demand for its product. How will that affect the price it charges and the quantity it supplies?
You are hired as a consultant to a monopolisticallycompetitive firm. The firm reports the followinginformation about its price, marginal cost, andaverage total cost.

Assume that in short-run equilibrium, a particular monopolistically competitive restaurant (Applebee's) charges $12 for each order of Chicken Parmesan and sells 52 orders per day. The average total cost (ATC) for those 52 orders is $10. How much revenue will the firm take in each day? $ What will be the firm's economic profit or loss on Chicken Parmesan? Next, suppose that other restaurants add/remove chicken parmesan from their menus (entry or exit occurs) and a long-run equilibrium is established. If the Applebees daily Chicken Parmesan orders remain at 52 units, what price will it be able to charge? $ What will be its economic profit or loss?

Maria manages a bakery that specializes in ciabatta bread (monopolistically competitive firm), and she has the following information on the bakery’s demand and costs: Ciabatta Bread Sold per Hour (Q) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Price (P) $6.00 5.50 5.00 4.50 4.00 3.50 3.00 2.50 2.00 Total Cost (TC) $3.00 7.00 10.00 12.50 14.50 16.00 17.00 18.50 21.00 a. To maximize profit, how many loaves of ciabatta bread should Maria sell per hour, what price should she charge, and how much profit will she make? b. What is the marginal revenue Maria receives from selling the profit-maximizing quantity of ciabatta bread? What is the marginal cost of producing the profit- maximizing quantity of ciabatta bread?
The American market for shoes is a good example of monopolistic competition. In a situation where Adidas is earning a large economic profit in the short-run, Nikemay try to increase their advertising to capture some of that business, If Nike is successful in their campaign, what would happen to the demand curve for Adidas and the price at which they can sell?O a. The demand curve shifts up and to the right, and the price rises.O b. The demand curve shifts up and to the right, and the price falls.O c. The demand curve shifts down and to the left, and the price walls.O d. The demand curve shifts down and to the left, and the price rises.Oe. Nike cannot affect the demand for Adidas since this is a monopolistically competitive market.
