The figure is drawn for a monopolistically competitive firm. MC ATC 140 123.33 8 PRICE Demand 90 56.67 MR 100 133.33 QUANTITY Refer to Figure 16-5. The quantity of output at which the MC and ATC curves cross is the long-run equilibrium quantity of output for the firm. short-run equilibrium quantity of output for the firm. efficient scale of the firm. profit-maximizing quantity.

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.

Graph Worksheet 01 02 03 1. What is the price and quantity at the optimum level of production? Is this an economic profit, loss, or break-even? Should the firm produce? 2. If the industry model is monopolistic competition, what will happen to the industry? What will happen to the demand and marginal revenue curves for the individual firm? In the long run, where will the demand curve be? Will the firm achieve productive and/or allocative efficiency? 3. If the industry...
Q1: a) Each of the following graphs shows a single-price
monopoly’s (or a monopolistically competitive firm’s) ATC, AVC, MC,
D, AR and MR in the short run. • label the lines and curves; •
indicate precisely the firm’s optimal level of output using the
label Q*; • indicate precisely the firm’s optimal price using the
label P*; and • indicate precisely the size of the firm’s economic
profit or economic loss if relevant when producing Q*.

Consider the perfectly competitive market for halogen ceiling lamps. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves for a typical firm in the industry.

The graph below shows a monopolist's demand (D), marginal
revenue (MR), marginal cost (MC), and average total cost (ATC)
curves. Management wants to adjust the production output quantity
to maximize the firm's profits. What quantity should the firm aim
for?
Give your answer by dragging the Q line to a new position to mark
the quantity at which profit is as large as possible.
