What is the first item to identify when determining the short-run equilibrium for a monopolistically competitive firm?
a. the total profits
b. the total revenue
C. the total costs
d. the profit-maximizing level of output
Draw a diagram to show the long-run equilibrium of a firm in a Monopolistically Competitive market clearly labeling the profit maximizing level of Q and P. Is P greater/less than ATC? Is P greater/less than MC? How much profit firm is earning in the long run? Also show the efficient level of outcome and explain why this firm does not produce at the efficient level.
