Suppose that a company operates in the monopolistically competitive market for denim jackets. The following graph shows the demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve for the firm. 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.

The graph below represents the costs and revenues for a firm operating in the athletic apparel industry. The industry is considered to be monopolistically competitive. Market for Athletic Apparel Costs and Revenues (dollars) MC MR Quantity Instructions: Enter your answers as a whole number a. The profit-maximizing level of output for the firm is units. The firm will charge consumers $ per unit. b. If instead the firm operates in a purely competitive market, the profit-maximizing level of output is units. The firm will charge consumers $ per unit. c. Indicate the deadweight loss generated by the monopolistically competitive industry. Instructions: Use the tool provided 'DWL' to illustrate this area on the graph.
