The long run average and marginal cost of dry-cleaning services is $5, as shown in the graph.
Given the demand curve and the marginal revenue curve shown in the graph, which of the following is true?
Select one:
O .
If the industry were served by a profit-maximizing monopoly, the price of dry-cleaning services would be $7
per garment.
Ob.
If the industry were perfectly competitive, 10 million garments would be cleaned each year.
If the market were served by a profit-maximizing monopoly, the price of dry-cleaning services would be $5 per
garment and monopoly economic profit would be zero.
O d. If the industry were perfectly competitive then the long-run equilibrium price of dry-cleaning services would be
$7 per garment.
