What is a feature common to both Monopolistic-Competition and Oligopoly type of markets?
O productive efficiency will occur in both the short run and long run, a desirable economic property of markets.
many smaller sized firms can produce the good or service at lower cost per unit than larger sized firms, thus
large firms fail in the long run.
the demand curve for each firm is not going to be purely elastic, because products are at least slightly
different than potential rival firms' product and/or there may be some consumer brand loyalty.
Firms in both types of markets eventually will be broken up by government anti-trust laws and regulations.

Question 2 [JP.14.3.19]
Consider a duopoly where the market demand is described by the equation: P = 150- Q. The marginal
cost for each firm is $60.
lo.] If the firms compete simultaneously with output, what is each firm's profit-maximizing output, the market
quantity, and the price each firm charges?
(b.) What is the economic profit eamed by each firm (from question [a]}
[c.) If Firm 1 is a leader in output, what is each firm's profit-maximizing output, the market quantity, and the
price each firm charges?
[d.] What is the economic profit earned by each firm (from question [c])?
Consider an oligopolistic market with 5 identical firms that choose their profit-maximizing quantities simultaneously. Suppose each firm has constant
marginal costs of $123 per unit and the market elasticity of demand is - 1.08.
What is the change in the prevailing market price if one additional firm joins the market? Assume that the potential entrant is identical to the incumbent
firms.

The profit maximizing output is 4 units where Marginal cost equals marginal revenue. At that output, use the demand curve to find the price and calculate total revenue. At that output, use the average cost curve to find the average cost and calculate total cost. Then calculate profit = total revenue - total cost.

Select one: O a. Chamberlin argued that this belief is incorrect. In his view, monopolistically competitive firms do not produce at a cost above their minimum average total costs. O b. Chamberlin argued that these higher costs represent the wastefulness of this market structure. O c. In Chamberlin's view, this is evidence that monopolistic competition uses society's resources inefficiently and in a fashion that merits government intervention. O d. According to Chamberlin, this cost difference represents the value consumers place on variety and having more choice.arrow_forwardWhich of the following most accurately explains a general distinction between oligopolists that advertise and those that do not? O Unlike nonadvertising oligopolists, advertising ones allocate resources inefficiently, charge a higher price, and restrict output so that price exceeds average cost. O Advertising oligopolists decrease the price to increase sales, whereas nonadvertising ones increase prices to increase profits. O Advertising oligopolists compete using product differentiation instead of price reductions, whereas nonadvertising firms collude to form a cartel to maximize joint profits. O Advertising oligopolists set prices and output quotas to maximize joint profits, whereas nonadvertising ones use product differentiation.arrow_forward
