make use of one relevant diagram to explain in details the equilibrium situation of a monopolistically competitive firm in the short and long run. TIP: show the short run equilibrium scenario (reflecting price and quantity) on one graph and the long run equilibrium scenario(reflecting price and quantity) on another graph next to it in the diagram.

Using diagrams for both the industry and a representative firm, illustrate competitive long-run equilibrium. Assuming constant costs, employ these diagrams to show how $(a)$ an increase and $(b)$ a decrease in market demand will upset that long-run equilibrium. Trace graphically and describe verbally the adjustment processes by which long-run equilibrium is restored. Now rework your analysis for increasing- and decreasing-cost industries and compare the three long-run supply curves.

Draw a diagram for a perfectly competitive firm in long-run equilibrium. Include only the demand curve facing the firm and its $L R A T C$ curve. Then show the impact of an excise tax (some number of dollars per unit) imposed by the government on this firm only but not on any other firm in the market. Can we say what this firm will do in the long run?
