When a profit-maximizing firm in a monopolistic competitive market is in long-run equilibrium, marginal cost is rising since an increase in production would increase average total cost.

true or false

The product-variety externality associated with monopolistic competition arises because in markets that are monopolistic competitive markets, firms try to differentiate their products.

true or false

If the monopolistic competitive firm is currently producing output at a level where the marginal cost curve intersects the demand curve, then it is producing at the social optimum; however, reducing output will cause profit to increase because marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue at the social optimum.

The Krisp Kracker company which makes unique kettle chips for restaurants, clubs, and events, has just lost a large client that made up 55% of its total revenue. Management finds it necessary to reduce staff or wages. This comes only three months after hiring 35 new people to support this big client. While there are rumors of wage reductions in the short run, the 100 employees who have been with the company for the past two years are grumbling that they are more valuable that the new hires which should be let go and the wages not reduced. The situation at Krisp Kracker illustrates which wage stickiness theory best?

  1. Suppose the firm is a monopolist. It faces a downward-sloping demand curve, P(Q). If it also has non-negative marginal cost, will it choose a quantity on the demand curve where the price elasticity of demand is less than, greater than, or equal to -1? Explain.

Two Hints: First, recall that R(Q) = P(Q) times Q, and that the price elasticity of demand is defined as .

Second, recall the condition MR = MC. Think about how the firm’s revenue will change if it starts at a point where the price elasticity is exactly -1 and increases Q by 1%, and remember that any increases in Q has a marginal cost.
