identify all types of market competition where firms face a downward sloping demand curve
a) perfect competition
b) monopolistic competition
c) oligopoly
d) monopoly
Under monoplistic competition , and monopoly market competition firm faces a downward sloping demand curve. Under perfect competition firm faces a perfectly elastic demand curve i.e horizontal line because in this market firm is a price taker and they can't influence the price. Under oligopoly there can be kinked demand curves .

Explain based on product differentiation that firms face a downward sloping demand curve in monopolistic competition.
Since firms that are not in perfect competition face downward-sloping demand curves, we know that to increase sales quantity they must lower prices. As a result: Group of answer choices Product Price is less than Marginal Revenue Price and Revenue are no longer related Price and Revenue are equal to each other Marginal Revenue is less than Product Price
