Draw a monopolists demand curve, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves. Identify the monopolists profit-maximizing output level. Now, think about a slightly higher level of output (sayQ0+1). According to the graph, is there any consumer willing to pay more than the marginal cost of that new level of output? If so, what does this mean?
What is the relationship between product differentiation and monopolistic competition?
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?
Make a case for why monopolistically competitive industries never reach long-run equilibrium.
How does the demand curve perceived by a monopolist compare with the market demand curve?
What stops oligopolists from acting together as a monopolist and earning the highest possible level of profits?
