List three key attributes of monopolistic competition.Draw and explain a diagram to show the short-run equilibrium in a monopolistically competitive market. How does this equilibrium differ from that in a perfectly competitive market
MelCo’s Xamoff The global pharmaceuticals giant, MelCo, has had great success with Xamoff, and over-thecounter medicine that reduces exam-related anxiety. A patent currently protects Xamoff from competition, although rumors persist that similar products are in development. Two years ago, MelCo sold 25 million units for a price of $10 for a package of ten. Last year it raised the price to $11, and sales fell to 22 million units. Finally, a financial analyst estimates the cost of production at $2 per package. (a) Estimate the elasticity of demand for this product at $10. Is this price too high or too low? (b) Estimate the elasticity of demand for this product at $11. Is this price too high or too low? (c) Based on your answers to (a) and (b), what can we say about MelCo’s profit-maximizing price?
In the long run, the positive economic profits earned by the monopolistic competitor will attract a response either from existing firms in the industry or firms outside. As those firms capture the original firm’s profit, what will happen to the original firm’s profit-maximizing price and output levels? Show on a graph
In long run equilibrium, economic profits tend to zero in a perfectly competitive market and also in a monopolistically competitive market. This is true because both market structures share a crucial characteristic. What is the characteristic that causes economic profits to get pushed towards zero in both perfect competition and monopolistic competition?
What are the characteristics of monopolistically competitive markets? If the price of the product in a monopolistically competitive market increases what happens to the number of individual firms in the market and to the level of profit in the long run? Fully explain your answer.

Suppose that a company operates in the monopolistically competitive market for denim jackets. The following graph shows the demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve for the firm. Place a black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the long-run monopolistically competitive equilibrium price and quantity for this firm. Next, place a grey point (star symbol) to indicate the minimum average total cost the firm faces and the quantity associated with that cost. ? 100 PRICE (Dollars per jacket) 8 20 60 50 X ATC 20 MC MR 2 2 2 2 10 0 0 30 40 50 60 70 QUANTITY (Thousands of jackets) 10 20 80 Demand 90 100 Mon Comp Outcome Min Unit Cost

Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the short-run profit-maximizing price and quantity for this monopolistically competitive company. Then, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the company's profit or loss. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. Select and drag the rectangles from the palette to the graph. To resize, select one of the points on the rectangle and move to the desired position.
