4. Is monopolistic competition efficient? Suppose that a company operates in the monopolistically competitive market for rugby kits. The following graph shows the demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve for the firm. Place a black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the long-run monopolistically competitive equilibrium price and quantity for this firm.
