The graph shows a firm in monopolistic competition. Use it to illustrate the difference between the price and quantity of the firm in long-run equilibrium and the efficient scale. First, move point A to the point that shows the quantity the firm will produce and the price it will charge Next, shift the average total cost curve to show the firm at long-run equilibrium Finally, place point B at the Efficient scale of production.
