How would a monopolistically competitive firm determine its profit maximizing level of output and price? Group of answer choices 1-The firm would use industry averages to determine the profit maximizing level of output and price. 2-A monopolistically competitive firm could set any output and price level to yield maximum profit because it controls all of the resources. 3-The firm would determine output based on the intersection of marginal cost and marginal revenue, then examine where that output level intersects with the demand curve to determine the price. 4-The firm would determine output based on the intersection of average cost and marginal cost, then examine where that output level intersects with the supply curve to determine the price.

According to the textbook, which of the following statements is (are) correct? (x) As new firms enter a monopolistically competitive market, product diversity in the market increases, however, profits of existing firms decrease since demand for the products of those firms decreases as they lose customers to the new entering firms. (y) The product-variety externality associated with monopolistic competition arises because in markets that are monopolistically competitive markets, firms try to differentiate their products. (z) When the loss from a business-stealing externality exceeds the gain from a product-variety externality, there are likely to be too many firms in a monopolistically competitive market.
