PRICE (Dollars per bike)#3) Draw a diagram of the long run equilibrium in a monopolistically competitive market. How is price related to average total cost? How is price related to marginal cost?7) Although the long run equilibrium of a monopolistically competitive markets involves zero economic profit like perfect competition, the outcome is deemed to be inefficient. Why is that the case? Are there desirable characteristics of monopolistic competition that potentially balance some of the inefficiencies?
