In a monopolistically competitive industry, a firm has a short-run and long-run cost function C = 150 + 20Q + 5Q2 The demand function for the firm's product is Q = α – P. (C = cost, Q = quantity, P = price, α = parameter). (i) If α = 116 short, determine the quantity, the price and profit of the business. (ii) What is the firm's demand function at long term equilibrium? MAKE A GRAPH
Give an example of an industry with monopolistic competition. (Remember that this is an industry structure and not a specific business within that industry.) Explain the benefits or detractions of this type of competition.

Consider a monopolistically competitive market with NN firms. Each firm's business opportunities are described by the following equations: Demand: Q=100N−PQ=100N−P Marginal Revenue: MR=100N−2QMR=100N−2Q Total Cost: TC=50+Q2TC=50+Q2 Marginal Cost: MC=2QMC=2Q As N rises, the demand for each firm's product: rise or fall?
