If you have a graph showing a monopolistic competitive situation in which demand shifts to the left in the long run but your graph only shows the MR curve in the short run, how do you figure out where the long-run MR line should go on the graph? (I have 2 demand curves (sr and lr), but only 1 MR curve (sr). I think it would be to the left of MR sr, but don't know how to draw it. One would need to know this to figure out excess capacity and markup, right?
Draw a diagram that depicts the profit maximization of a perfectly competitive and monopolistic market.
WataDine is one of a city’s many restaurants that serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a monopolistically competitive market. Assume that WataDine, as a restaurant in the city, is currently producing the profit-maximizing output level, and earns positive short-run economic profit. (a) How is monopolistic competition similar to each of the following market structures? (i) Perfect competition (ii) Monopoly (b) WataDine is currently earning short-run economic profits. Draw a correctly labeled graph for WataDine in short-run equilibrium and show each of the following. (i) The profit-maximizing quantity, labeled Qm (ii) The profit-maximizing price, labeled Pm (c) Given that WataDine is currently earning short-run economic profits, what will happen to each of the following in the long run? (i) WataDine's economic profit. Explain. (ii) WataDine's demand curve for its restaurant meals. (d) Assume WataDine is in long-run equilibrium. (i) Is WataDine taking advantage of its economies of scale?…
The following graph shows a firm operating in a monopolistically competitive market. Short term, how many haircuts will the firm perform and at what price? At this point, what will its total revenue, total cost, and total profit be? Given your answers, what would we expect to happen in the long term in this market (i.e. are we at long term equilibrium, or will we see further changes)?
The graph below is for Chic and Sharpe Ltd., a firm in the women’s garment industry, which is monopolistically competitive. a. Label the four curves in the graph above. Double-click on each of the question marks on the graph and select the correct label. b. What is the profit-maximizing output and price? Output: units Price: $ c. At the output in (b), what are the amounts of Total cost: $ ; Total revenue: $ Economic profit: $ d. How much excess capacity exists? units e. What will the presence of economic profits do? i) Result in the entry of new firms into the industry ii) Have no effect on the number of firms in the industry iii) Result in the exit of firms from the industry f. As a result of your answer to (e), the demand curve in the above graph will i) shift to the right ii) shift to the left iii) not shift
The diagram above represents a monopolistically competitive firm. Answer the questions below. From the diagram, economies of scale are maximized at which output level? Explain. From the diagram, what is the allocatively efficient output for this firm? Explain.
This graph shows a monopolistic competitor Group of answer choices in the short run breaking even. in the short run taking a loss. in the short run making a profit. in the long run breaking even. in the long run taking a loss. in the long run making a profit.
The graph shows a firm in monopolistic competition. Use it to illustrate the difference between the price and quantity of the firm in long-run equilibrium and the efficient scale. First, move point A to the point that shows the quantity the firm will produce and the price it will charge Next, shift the average total cost curve to show the firm at long-run equilibrium Finally, place point B at the Efficient scale of production.
How does a monopolistic market during entry and exit affect economic profit and economic loss? Show diagram.
Briefly compare and contrast the demand curve for a monopolistically competitive firm and a perfectly competitive firm.
