Putting Green is a monopolistically competitive firm which sells golf supplies. It has recently experienced a decline in economic profitability as the industry has become saturated with many firms offering similar products. The graph below shows Putting Green's demand and cost curves, illustrating that it is currently losing money. Illustrate what will happen as this industry begins to transition to the long-run by shifting the demand curve for Putting Green's products in the appropriate direction. Assume that Putting Green has enough reserves to sustain it through this difficult time and will not exit the industry, unlike some of its competitors. Provide your answer below:

Perfect Competition 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. One day, consumer advocate Skippy Jif discovers that all brands of peanut butter in Nutville are identical. Thereafter, the market becomes perfectly competitive and again reaches its long-run equilibrium. On the previous graph, use the grey point (star symbol) to show the market price in this case and the quantity produced by each firm. Which of the following statements are true for a typical firm in…
