Given the options, estimated quantities sold at each price and average cost, which price option would generate the most profit and how much is the profit? SearchPrice and costs Consider the diagram below depicting the demand and cost conditions faced by a monopolistically competitive firm. a. Use the graph to show how price and output will vary depending upon which point the firm produces. Indicate the levels that will be produced under profit maximization, productive efficiency, and allocative efficiency. Instructions: (1) Use the tool provided 'Profit maximizing' to plot a point showing the price-quantity combination when the firm is maximizing profit. (2) Use the tool provided 'Productive efficiency' to plot a point showing the price-quantity combination when the firm is producing the productively efficient output level. (3) Use the tool provided 'Allocative efficiency' to plot a point showing the price-quantity combination when the firm is producing the allocatively efficient output level.

Study Questions and Problems #4 Consider this statement: "Because price equals long-run average cost and profits are zero, a monopolistically competitive firm is efficient." Do you agree or disagree? Agree, because a monopolistically competitive firm produces a socially optimal output. Disagree, because a monopolistically competitive firm does not produce enough output from a socially optimal point of view. Disagree, because a monopolistically competitive firm produces too much output from a socially optimal point of view.
