Suppose that Luigi is a monopolistic competitor whose marginal cost of a jacket is $100 and at one of the firm's shops, total fixed cost is $200 a day. The profit maximizing number of jackets sold in this shop is 20 a day. Then the shops nearby from other retailers start advertising their jackets. The Luigi shop decides to spend $500 a day advertising its jackets, and its prodit maximizing number of jackets sold jumps to 50 a day. 1. What is the shop's average total cost of a jacket sold before the advertising begins? 2. What is the shop's average total cost of a jacket sold after advertising? 3. Before advertising Suppos that the price elasticity of demand is 2. Can you compute the price of a Luigi jacket? Please, compute the amount of maximal profits. 4. After advertising: Suppose that the price elasticity of demand equals 4. Can you compute Luigi's economic profit?

Draw a diagram that depicts the profit maximization of a perfectly competitive and monopolistic market.
Answer all four questions! Is a monopolistically competitive firm productively efficient? How can you tell? Offer one reason why a monopolistically competitive firm might be productively inefficient. Is it allocatively efficient? How can you tell? Offer one reason why a monopolistically competitive firm might be allocatively inefficient.
Suppose the tattoo shop market in Richmond is monopolistically competitive. Consider the market from the perspective of one tattoo parlor, Roses & Thorns. Suppose there were positive economic profits in the market and an additional two tattoo parlors enter the market. What happens to the demand curve for Roses & Thorns tattoos shifts up shifts down stays the same

1. Briefly discuss the various ways monopolistically competitive firms can differentiate their products? 2. In the long-run, a perfectly competitive firm will earn what kind of economic profit?
explain the relationship between the market price and a monopolistically competitive firm’s marginal revenue, be able to find the profit-maximizing output and price
What factors hinder firms in monopolistic competition from earning economic profits in the long run?
How does a monopolistic competitor choose its profit-maximizing quantity of output and price?
Monopolistically competitive firms could increase the quantity they produce and potentially lower the average total cost of production. Why don't they do so?
Why this is true "When monopolistically competitive firms make a profit in the short run, ,then in the long run, their demand curves will shift left as new firms enter." If you can give a graph explanation, that would be great.
Please DRAW & write neatly (no cursive) showing all work. You are studying a restaurant, that sells only pasta, and operates in a monopolistically competitive environment. This restaurant sells pasta made from its own brand of pasta called Gino's Pasta. This restaurant faces its own individual demand curve given by: QD = 120 − 30pNow suppose that in this example, the restaurant has the total costs defined by: TC = 40 + 2Q Draw a figure that includes:a. The Demand Curveb. The MR Curvec. The MC Curved. The ATC Curve.
