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?
We know that monopolistically competitive firms prevent the efficient use of resources because at the monopolistically competitive equilibrium,Hint: "efficient" is measure relative to the perfectly competitive outcome. Question 10Answer a. MR > P. b. P > MC. c. P = MC. d. P > ATC.
Suppose the monopolistically competitive barber shop industry in a community is in long-run equilibrium, and that the typical price is $20 per haircut. Moreover, the population is rising. 1. Illustrate the short-run effects of a change on the price and output of a typical firm in the market. 2. Show what happens in the long run. Will the final price be higher than $20? Equal $20? Be less than $20? Assume that nothing happens to the cost of producing haircuts. 3. Suppose that, initially, the price of a typical children’s haircut is $10. Do you think this represents price discrimination? Why or why not?
