Which of the following are characteristics of monopolistic competition quizlet?

Which of the following is not characteristic of monopolistic competition?

A.	relatively large numbers of sellers

B.	product differentiation

C.	production at minimum ATC in the long-run

D.	relatively easy entry to the industry

A monopolistically competitive industry combines elements of both competition and monopoly. It is correct to say that the competitive element results from:

A.	a relatively large number of firms and the monopolistic element from product differentiation.

B.	product differentiation and the monopolistic element from high entry barriers.

C.	a perfectly elastic demand curve and the monopolistic element from low entry barriers.

D.	a highly inelastic demand curve and the monopolistic element from advertising and product promotion.

The demand curve of a monopolistically competitive producer is:

A.	less elastic than that of either a pure monopolist or a purely competitive seller.

B.	less elastic than that of a pure monopolist, but more elastic than that of a purely competitive seller.

C.	more elastic than that of a pure monopolist, but less elastic than that of a purely competitive seller.

D.	more elastic than that of either a pure monopolist or a purely competitive seller.

B.	MR = MC and minimum ATC > P.

C.	MR > MC and P = minimum ATC.

D.	MR = MC and P > minimum ATC.

11.

In monopolistically competitive markets resources are:

A.	overallocated because long-run equilibrium occurs where price exceeds marginal cost.

B.	underallocated because long-run equilibrium occurs where price exceeds marginal cost.

C.	overallocated because long-run equilibrium occurs where marginal cost exceeds price.

D.	underallocated because long-run equilibrium occurs where marginal cost exceeds price.

12.

In long-run equilibrium a monopolistically competitive firm will:

A.	earn an economic profit.

B.	realize all economies of scale.
