Question 37 A monopolistically competitive firm cannot make strictly negative profits in the long run because The firm’s optimal quantity is to produce where marginal revenue equals marginal cost The firm must operate at the efficient scale Either the firm exits or the exit of other firms shifts its demand curve to the right, raising profits until it makes zero profits. Exit of other firms shifts the market supply curve to the left and raises the price until firms make zero profits

Draw a correctly labeled graph for WataDine in short-run equilibrium and show each of the following. (i) The profit-maximizing quantity, labeled QM (ii) The profit-maximizing price, labeled PM (c) Given that WataDine is currently earning short-run economic profits, what will happen to each of the following in the long run? (i) WataDine's economic profit. Explain. (ii) WataDine's demand curve for its restaurant meals. (d) Assume WataDine is in long-run equilibrium.
