If the firms in a monopolistically competitive market are earning economic profits or losses in the short run, would you expect them to continue doing so in the long run? Why?
What is the relationship between product differentiation and monopolistic competition?
Andreas Day Spa began to offer a relaxing aromatherapy treatment. The film asks you how much to charge to maximize profits. The first two columns in Table 10.5 provide the price and quantity for the demand curve for treatments. The third column shows its total costs. For each level of output, calculate total revenue, marginal revenue, average cost, and marginal cost. What is the profit-maximizing level of output for the treatments and how much will the firm earn in profits?
How can a monopolistic competitor tell whether the price it is charging will cause the firm to earn profits or experience losses?
Continuing with the scenario in question 1, in the long run, the positive economic profits that the monopolistic competitor earns will attract a response either from existing firms in the industry or film outside. As those films capture the original films profit, what will happen to the original films profit-maximizing price and output levels?
How do perfectly competitive firms, monopolists, monopolistically competitive firms, and cartels choose the profit -maximizing quantity? A) The quantity at which average total cost is minimizedB) The quantity at which total revenue and total cost are equalC) The quantity at which total revenue is maximizedD) The quantity at which marginal revenue and marginal cost are equal

MIcro: The company “Mike Broonie” operates in the market of monopolistic competition. Just now, the company weekly produces and sells 100 units of pillows for £12 each. The average total cost to produce the pillows doesn’t depend on the output, being £10 per unit. Having evaluated the price elasticity of demand for its product, the company concluded that demand is inelastic at the moment. a. What indicator characterizes the price elasticity of demand? What formula (or formulas) one can use to calculate this indicator? Choose any number for this indicator that, under the conditions specified in the case, could characterize the price elasticity of demand for the company “Mike Broonie”. b. Imagine that the owner of the company wants to increase the price of the company’s product. How will it affect sales, revenue, and profit (will each of these indicators increase, decrease, or remain the same)? Give here theoretically substantiated forecast. To increase the number of points…

The price elasticity of demand b. The cross-price elasticity of demand; substitute or complementary goods? c. The income elasticity of demand; inferior, normal, or superior goods? Unconstrained Optimization: Profit Maximization Question 5: A firm is a monopolistic producer of two goods G1 and G2. The prices are related to quantities Q1 and Q2 according to the demand functions. ?1 = 50 − ?1 ?2 = 95 − 3?2 If the total cost function is: ?? = ?12 + 3?1?2 + ?22 Find the values of Q1 and Q2 which maximize π and deduce the corresponding prices.
