- Monopolistic Competition a. Graphically represent a monopolistically competitive firm, using the curves that would provide information such as the profit maximizing price and quantity as well as the cost at the profit maximizing quantity. b. Show the profit maximizing price and quantity for this firm at a price of $185 and a quantity of 7500. c. Show this firm earning a profit of $45000. Make sure to solve for the numerical value for the average total cost (ATC) at the quantity of 7500. d.
