Suppose the tattoo shop market in Richmond is monopolistically competitive. Consider the market from the perspective of one tattoo parlor, Roses & Thorns.

Suppose that a firm produces tennis racquets in a monopolistically competitive market. The following graph shows its demand curve (D), marginal revenue curve (MR), marginal cost curve (MC), and long-run average cost curve (LRAC). Assume that all firms in the industry face the same cost structure. Place the tan point (dash symbol) on the graph to indicate the long-run monopolistically competitive equilibrium price and quantity for this firm. Next, place the purple point (diamond symbol) to indicate the point at which this firm would produce in the long run if it operated in a perfectly competitive market. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. 100 LRAC 60 50 PRICE, COSTS, AND REVENUE (Dollars per racquet) 8 R 90 MC 10 0 0 10 D MR 50 60 70 80 90 100 20 30 40 QUANTITY (Thousands of racquets per month) Monopolistic Competition Outcome Perfect Competition Outcome Compare the average cost and the output in the long-run equilibrium for a monopolistically competitive…
