Macmillan Learning In monopolistic competition, advertising has been introduced as a new method to compete that differs from other markets. The following questions are centered around the topic of advertising. What two changes occur when a firm successfully advertises a product within the market? Supply for the product increases and demand becomes more elastic Demand for the product increases and demand become more inelastic O Demand for the product increases and demand becomes more elastic O Demand for the product decreases and demand becomes more inelastic What is the firm's main goal of advertising? Increase the elasticity of its demand curve Move the market closer to its natural, perfectly competitive state Increase product differentiation O Increase the supply of product in the market Which of the following would be arguments against advertising? ✔Provides a barrier to entry in the market ✔Lowers prices of some products May enhance enjoyment of the product Can lead to increased…
Suppose that a firm produces wool jackets in a monopolistically competitive market. The following graph shows its demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve. 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. (?) PRICE (Dollars perjacket) 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 0 MC 10 ATC MR 20 30 40 50 80 70 QUANTITY (Thousands of jackets) 80 Demand 90 100 O F ++ Mon Comp Outcome Min Unit Cost hp e
QUESTION 26 Price MC 160 140 ATC 123.33 Demand 90 56.67 MR 100 133.33 154.92 Quantity The figure is drawn for a monopolistically-competitive firm. In response to the situation in this graph, we would expect O a. many new firms to enter this market O b. this firm to gain positive profit in the long run O c. this firm's profit to move from its current value toward zero in the long run O d. All of the above are correct
Question 29 Monopolistic competition is characterized by excess capacity because: O the demand for a product is perfectly elastic in this type of industry. O firms charge a price that is less than marginal cost. O firms are always profitable in the long run. O firms produce at an output level less than the least-cost output.
The most important factor that drives the long-run profit to zero in monopolistic competition is the elasticity of the market demand curve the elasticity of the firm's demand curve free entry and exit O the reaction of rival firms to a change in price What is one difference between the Cournot and Stackelberg models? O In Cournot, both firms make price decisions simultaneously, and in Stackelberg, one firm sets its price level first O In Stackelberg, both firms make price decisions simultaneously, and in Cournot, one firm sets its price level first O In Cournot, both firms make output decisions simultaneously, and in Stackelberg, one firm sets its output level first O In Stackelberg, both firms make output decisions simultaneously, and in Cournot, one firm sets its output level first O Profits are zero in Cournot and positive in Stackelberg
Submit All stion 17 of 30 Which statement best explains why consumers might benefit more from monopolistic competition than perfect competition? O The demand curve for a monopolistically competitive firm follows the law of demand, but the demand curve for a perfectly competitive firm does not. O Monopolistic competitors will use fewer resources per unit of output than perfect competitors, so overall output will be maximized. O The benefits of having more variety offsets the losses from productive and allocative inefficiencies. The balance between marginal cost and price in monopolistic competition ensures that the optimal level of output will be produced. 8: 46°F > 节 a
Which of the following is a characteristic of monopolistic competition? O few sellers O homogeneous product zero long-run profits O barriers to entry OO
Massive advertisement by Oligopoly and Monopolistic fims i called the practice of non-price competition by which they seem to cause inefficiency in production and distribution of their products. Any government attempt to legislate to limit the cost of advertisement at specific level, the firms will never welcome that possible restriction on their advertisement cost because O t willreluce the power of maintalning their barrier to entry of new firms into the market to take away their market shares O twill lower their profit O itwill increase their cost of sales O twill incur massive loss
