The market for peanut butter in Nutville is monopolistically competitive and in long-run equilibrium. 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.
