Assume that in short-run equilibrium, a particular monopolistically competitive firm charges $12 for each unit of its output and sells 52 units of output per day. The average total cost (ATC) for those 52 units is $10.Instruction: Round your answers below to the nearest whole number.How much revenue will the firm take in each day? $ What will be the firm's economic profit or loss? of $ Next, suppose that entry or exit occurs in this monopolistically competitive industry and establishes a long-run equilibrium.If the firm’s daily output remains at 52 units, what price will it be able to charge? $ What will be its economic profit or loss? of $
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?
Suppose that a monopolistically competitive restaurant is currently serving 230 meals per day (the output where MR = MC). At that output level, ATC per meal is $10 and consumers are willing to pay $12 per meal. What is the size of this firm’s profit or loss? Will there be entry or exit? Will this restaurant’s demand curve shift left or right? In long-run equilibrium, suppose that this restaurant charges $11 per meal for 180 meals and that the marginal cost of the 180th meal is $8. What is the size of the firm’s profit? Suppose that the allocatively efficient output level in long-run equilibrium is 200 meals. Is the deadweight loss for this firm greater than or less than $60
There is much evidence that large firms with considerable market power (firms such asmonopolies) may not maximize profits but may pursue quite different objectives such asgrowth or sales revenue maximization. What are the arguments put forward to defendmonopoly? Name any 5 Generally, the aim of a business is to maximize profit. Which point should a firm operateat in order to achieve maximum profit? By making use of a graph indicate clearly the pointat which a firm makes maximum profit and a point where a firm increase their output inorder to enhance profit as well as well as the points where they should reduce theirproduction if they want to enhance profit

Think about firms such as the Coca Cola Company and PepsiCo who competeagainst each other in the monopolistically competitive market for soft drinks. Eachfirm produces a unique product, but each of these unique products is to some extenta substitute for the soft drinks produced by rival companies.Now imagine a situation where the firms within such a market are facing suchextreme competition that they are unable to make an operating profit. Characterisethis situation diagrammatically and explain what will happen to the market, payingparticular attention to the exit or entry of firms out of (or into) the market.

What is the meaning of ‘acceptable loss’for a perfectly competitive firm ? Draw a graph and explain. How can we increase the Total Revenue of productsby using elasticity? Explain them briefly.
In 2006, the five leading suppliers of digital cameras in the United States were Canon,Sony, Kodak, Olympus, and Samsung. The combined market share of these five firmswas 60.9 percent. The leading firm was Canon, with a market share of 18.7 percent. Theown price elasticity for Canon’s cameras was –4.0 and the market elasticity of demandwas –1.6. Suppose that in 2006, the average retail price of a Canon digital camera was$240 and that Canon’s marginal cost was $180 per camera. Suppose you were the CEO of Kodak, what would you do to avoid its business failure? Please apply the specific tools from managerial economics to the case analysis
