In long run equilibrium, economic profits tend to zero in a perfectly competitive market and also in a monopolistically competitive market. This is true because both market structures share a crucial characteristic. What is the characteristic that causes economic profits to get pushed towards zero in both perfect competition and monopolistic competition?

Is monopolistic competition efficient and socially desirable for the welfare of the economy

Suppose that a company operates in the monopolistically competitive market for denim jackets. 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. Next, place a grey point (star symbol) to indicate the minimum average total cost the firm faces and the quantity associated with that cost. ? 100 PRICE (Dollars per jacket) 8 20 60 50 X ATC 20 MC MR 2 2 2 2 10 0 0 30 40 50 60 70 QUANTITY (Thousands of jackets) 10 20 80 Demand 90 100 Mon Comp Outcome Min Unit Cost
