Please dont copy and paste the answers One of your former peers starts up a firm after graduating NYUAD. However, he didn’t take Markets so is unsure if he is behaving optimally. He’s asked you for help. His firm faces monopolistic competition, has diminishing returns to its inputs and uses a fixed input. He is producing at a quantity such that P=MC, and he makes a positive profit. a. Draw the Demand curve, MR, MC, and ATC reflecting this situation on a graph. Label the quantity, price and profit of the firm under his strategy. b. Is his strategy maximizing his profits? Explain how he would do so if not. Label the quantity, price and profit of the firm under the optimal strategy on your graph in part a. c. He asks you about what you predict might happen to his profits in the future. What do you expect will happen to profits in this industry as we go to long run and why? What is the key assumption of monopolistic competition that gives you your conclusion?

Due to an increase in the price of a competitor's product, the demand for a firm's product increases sharply. How is this most likely to affect the firm's marginal revenue and marginal cost? OA. Both marginal revenue and marginal cost will increase. OB. Marginal revenue will increase but marginal cost will decrease. OC. Marginal revenue will increase but marginal cost will not change. OD. Both marginal revenue and marginal cost will not be affected. OE Marginal revenue will not change but marginal cost will increase.

Maria manages a bakery that specializes in ciabatta bread (monopolistically competitive firm), and she has the following information on the bakery’s demand and costs: Ciabatta Bread Sold per Hour (Q) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Price (P) $6.00 5.50 5.00 4.50 4.00 3.50 3.00 2.50 2.00 Total Cost (TC) $3.00 7.00 10.00 12.50 14.50 16.00 17.00 18.50 21.00 a. To maximize profit, how many loaves of ciabatta bread should Maria sell per hour, what price should she charge, and how much profit will she make? b. What is the marginal revenue Maria receives from selling the profit-maximizing quantity of ciabatta bread? What is the marginal cost of producing the profit- maximizing quantity of ciabatta bread?
The folowing diagram shows the curves for perceived demand, marginal revenue, and cost for Manuela's Pizza, which serves Mexican-style pizza. Manuela's is one of many other fast food restaurants in this town. MC Price and Cost ATC Demand Quantity of piezas Which statement describes the transibon to the long nun? Select the best answer. O More fast food restaurants will enter the market, and Manuela's demand curve will become more elastic. Manuela's will raise its prices since there is a large demand for its pizzas. O More fast food restaurants will enter the market, and Manuela's demand curve will become more inelastic. Manuela's will experience lower costs of production because it will expand its output.
