The following graph shows the marginal-cost (MC) curve and the average-total-cost (ATC) curve for a peanut-butter-producing firm. It also shows the demand curve and marginal-revenue (MR) curve faced by a firm operating in a monopolistically competitive environment. On the following graph, use the black point (plus symbol) to show the profit-maximizing output and price for a typical firm operating in a monopolistically competitive environment.

- 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?The diagram above represents a monopolistically competitive firm. Answer the questions below. Is this firm operating in the short-run or long-run? How do you know? Calculate this firm’s accounting profit. From the diagram, what is the productively efficient output for this firm? From the diagram, economies of scale are maximized at which output level? Explain. From the diagram, what is the allocatively efficient output for this firm? Explain.Explain why the demand curve facing a firm under the monopolistic competition is the negative slope

From the diagram, what is the allocatively efficient output for this firm? Explain.Susan owns a restaurant that sells hamburgers in a monopolistically competitive market. The graph to the right depicts the demand and marginal revenue for her hamburgers. Suppose that Susan's restaurant is maximizing profits at 35 hamburgers (per day). Assume that the monopolistically competitive industry is at a long-run equilibrium. Use the three-point curve drawing tool to add Susan's long run average cost (ATC) curve to the graph.
