Expert Solution

Answer : The answer is option C.

In long run for monopolistically competitive firm at equilibrium quantity level the price is equal to ATC (Average Total Cost). But at equilibrium quantity level the ATC is not minimum. Therefore, option C is correct.

Suppose the monopolistically competitive barber shop industry in a community is in long-run equilibrium, and that the typical price is $20 per haircut. Moreover, the population is rising. a.  Illustrate the short-run effects of a change on the price and output of a typical firm in the market. b. Show what happens in the long run. Will the final price be higher than $20? Equal $20? Be less than $20? Assume that nothing happens to the cost of producing haircuts. c....
