Is monopolistic competition efficient?

1. FILL OUT THE GRAPH (using the following information):

Suppose that a firm produces polo shirts 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.

Furthermore, the quantity the firm produces in long-run equilibrium is W the efficient scale. Because this market is a monopolistically competitive market, you can tell that it is in long-run equilibrium by the fact that W at the optimal quantity. Furthermore, the quantity the firm produces in long-run equilibrium is W the efficient scale. equal to greater than Because this market is a monopolistically competitive market, you can tell that it is in lo m by the fact that W at the optimal quantity. Furthermore, the quantity the firm produces in long-run equilibrium is W the efficient scale
