- I need help with econ multiple hw questions asap! 93) As the number of firms change in an oligopoly market, what will it become? A. As the number of firms increases, the market approaches a monopoly market equilibrium B. As the number of firms increases, the market approaches a competitive market equilibrium C. As the number of firms decreases, the market approaches a socially optimal equilibrium. D. As the number of firms decreases, the market approaches a cartel equilibrium. 92) Refer to the attached Table 40. If both stores follow a dominant strategy, what will SuperDuper Saver's growth-related profits be? A. $25 B. $250 C. $85 D. $50Suppose the market for fast-food value meals is monopolistically competitive, with many restaurants selling their own brand of food. Assume the restaurants in the industry behave optimally by maximizing profit. The figure to the right represents the market for one monopolistically competitive firm's value meals. How will this figure change as the market moves toward long-run equilibrium? In the long run, O A. the average cost curve and the marginal cost curve will shift up because the firms are currently making profit. O B. the demand curve will shift to the left and become more elastic because the firms are currently making profit. nothing will change because monopolistically competitive markets have barriers to new firms entering. OC. O D. the demand curve will shift to the right and become more elastic because the firms are currently experiencing losses. O E. nothing will change because the firms in this market are breaking even. Price and cost (per value meal) 8.00- 7.60- 7.20 6.80…1. If the demand for a good increases at the same time as the supply of the same good decreases, what will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of the good? Explain. 2.

What is the point of long run equilibrium of a monopolistically competitive firm. How does it compare to a competitive firm.

Type your answer...Suppose that a company operates in the monopolistically competitive market for electric razors. 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.

- 2. The market for dark chocolate us characterized by Cournot duopolists - Honeydukes and Wonka industries. The market demand for dark chocolate is:P = 8 - 0.005Qdwhere P is the price per bar in dollars and Qd is dark chocolate's daily quantity demanded in bars (use qh to represent the quantity of dark chocolate sold by Honeydukes and qw to represent the quantity of dark chocolate sold by Wonka Industries). Honeydukes has a constant marginal cost of $2.50 per bar, while Wonka Industries has a constant marginal cost of $3.00 per bar. The firms move simultaneously in choosing their profit-maximizing quantity of output.a. Given the firms move simultaneously, what is the equation for Honeydukes' reaction function with qh expressed as a function of qw?b.
