Perfect competition is great for consumers, but not for producers. Present a perfect competition equilibriumusing the average cost and marginal cost curve framework used in class, and explain using words why thisequilibrium is good for consumers but not for firms. Then, assume the firm innovates in a way that gives thefirm market power and provides the firm with an economic profit. In a second diagram, show the situationfor this firm after the innovation. Use your results to explain using words why free market capitalism tendsto provide an improving living standard for consumers over time.

The fact that this firm is a natural monopoly is shown by the fact that marginal cost lies below the long-run average total cost where the firm maximizes its profits. OC. The fact that this firm is a natural monopoly is shown by the continually declining marginal revenue curve as output rises. O D. The fact that this firm is a natural monopoly is shown by the long-run average total cost curve still falling when it crosses the demand curve.
