7. Since a monopolistically competitive firm faces a downward-sloping demand curve for its product, its price will be:
equal to marginal revenue.
less than marginal revenue.
greater than marginal revenue.
equal to total revenue.
8. Suppose a monopolistically competitive firm can increase its profits by decreasing its output. Then it must be the case that at the current output:
marginal revenue is less than zero.
price is less than marginal revenue.
marginal revenue is less than marginal cost.
price is less than average total cost.
9.Long-run equilibrium in perfect competition and in monopolistic competition are similar because, in both, firms:
produce at the minimum point of the average total cost curve.
set price equal to marginal cost.
make zero economic profits.
have excess capacity
