Why is there a price markup over marginal cost in
monopolistic competition?
a downward-sloping demand curve, price exceeds
marginal cost
The graph shows the demand curve and marginal revenue
curve of Whitewater, Inc., a producer of rubber rafts in
monopolistic competition.
Draw the marginal cost curve if the firm produces 150 rafts
a week. Label it.
Draw a point at the intersection of the MC and MR curves.
Draw a point to show the price that Whitewater charges for
a raft when it produces 150 rafts a week.
Draw an arrow to show the amount of Whitewater's
markup.
What is Whitewater's markup?
Whitewater's markup is $750 a raft.
