The following table shows the daily cost data and demand schedule for a typical firm producing board games in a monopolistically competitive market in the short run. Fill in the values in the Marginal Cost, Total Revenue, and Marginal Revenue columns in the following table and then answer the questions that follow. Quantity (Board games) Total Cost Price (Dollars) (Dollars per game) Marginal Cost (Dollars) Total Revenue (Dollars) Average Total Cost (Dollars) 1 2 3 4 15.00 13.00 12.00 10.00 11 20 27 36 AAAA Marginal Revenue (Dollars) AAAA

If the price is greater than Actual total cost, does the monopolistic firm makes a profit, loss, or break-even?

There are two groups of firms below.   Group 1: firms in the retail sector (e.g. Amazon;  Wal-Mart; Target; Kohl's; Sears; Macy's) Group 2: firms in the wireless services industry (e.g. Verizon; AT & T; Sprint/T-Mobile) (this about telecommunication services, not about the sale of phones) For each group determine and explain if the group is monopolistic competitive or an oligopoly. You need to specific for both in which market structure the firms operate) Then choose one of the firms from one group.  Using a Porter's analysis what are the threat to profitability?

what market inefficiencies derive from monopolies and monopolistic competition?

The diagram at right shows the structure of cost and demand facing a monopolistically competitive firm in the short run. The profit-maximizing output level is units of output. (Enter your response as an integer.) The profit-maximizing price is $. (Enter your response as an integer.) Total revenue is $ (Enter your response as an integer.) Total cost is $. (Enter your response as an integer.) Total profit or loss is $ (Enter your response as an integer and include a negative sign where appropriate.) In the long run, firms will OA. exit, shifting the demand facing the remaining firms to the right until the firms earn an economic profit. B. exit, shifting the demand facing the remaining firms to the right until the firms earn a normal profit.

The diagram above represents a monopolistically competitive firm. Answer the questions below.  Is this firm operating in the short-run or long-run? How do you know?  Calculate this firm’s accounting profit.  From the diagram, what is the productively efficient output for this firm?  From the diagram, economies of scale are maximized at which output level? Explain.  From the diagram, what is the allocatively efficient output for this firm? Explain.

The following graph shows the daily demand curve for bippitybops in Chicago. Use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to compute total revenue at various prices along the demand curve. Note: You will not be graded on any changes made to this graph. Total Revenue 0 8 16 24 32 40 48 56 64 72 80 200 180 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 PRICE (Dollars per bippitybop) QUANTITY (Bippitybops per day) Demand A B Area: 1280 Calculate the daily total revenue when the market price is $180, $160, $140, $120, $100, $80, $60, and $40 per bippitybop. Then, use the green point (triangle symbol) to plot the daily total revenue against quantity corresponding to these market prices on the following graph. Total Revenue 0 8 16 24 32 40 48 56 64 72 80 3840 3520 3200 2880 2560 2240 1920 1600 1280 960 640 320 0 TOTAL REVENUE (Dollars) QUANTITY (Bippitybops per day) According to the midpoints formula, the price elasticity of demand between points A and B on the initial graph is approximately .
