Use the following information and/or graph to answer questions 5-7: A monopolistically competitive firm is facing this demand for its product: P = 120 - 1/4Q. The marginal cost is equal to average total cost: MC = ATC = 40. 5) This monopolistically competitive firm will produce quantity ____ at a unit price of ____ per unit. a) 40 / 110 b) 40 / 100 c) 80 / 80 d) 160 / 80 6) This monopolistically competitive firm is in a ____ equilibrium and is experiencing ____ a) short run / 6400 of profits. b) short run / 1400 or profits. c) long run / zero economic profits. d) Short run / 2800 of losses. 7) This monopolistically competitive firm has total costs of ____ while producing the equilibrium quantity. a) 2800 b) 6400 c) 1600 d) 800

Consider the graph of demand D, average total cost ATC, marginal revenue MR, and marginal cost MC for a monopolistic firm. Assume no regulation is in place. Place box A on the graph to represent the profit or loss for the firm before regulation. b. Now assume marginal cost pricing is imposed. Place box B on the graph to represent the profit or loss for the firm after marginal cost pricing is imposed.
