producing either differentiated or nondifferentiated
products and entry is possible but not easy. $23-2a
* The shape of the demand curve facing a firm in an
oligopoly depends on how the firms interact. $23-20
• The marginal-revenue curve for all firms except those in
perfect competition is downward sloping and lies below
the demand curve. The marginal-revenue curve for the
perfectly competitive firm is the same as the demand
curve, a horizontal or perfectly elastic curve. $23-2b

will take their resources and place them into an
activity that promises to pay more. $23-3b
