Suppose that a firm produces polo shirts in a monopolistically competitive market. The following graph shows its demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve. 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 PRICE (Dollars per shirt) 0 10 20 True O False MR Demand 60 QUANTITY (Thousands of shirts) ATC 40 BO 190 100 Mon Comp Outcorne Because this market is a monopolistically competitive market, you can tell that it is in long-run equilibrium by the fact that optimal quantity for each firm. Furthermore, the quantity the firm produces in long-run equilibrium is Min Unit Cost True or False: This indicates that there is a markup on marginal cost in the market for shirts. at the the efficient scale.
