17 MONOPOLISTIC COMPETITION VIDEO IN LONG RUN EQUILIBRIUM CREATION - DIRECTIVE Watch ACDC Econ Concepts in 60 Seconds. Your team has to create a 2 minute video similar to Mr. Clifford s video that clearly and accurately explains the functioning of Monopolistic Competition in the Long-Run. Go to the chosen room with a white board and using markers reproduce the video covering the items below. The demand curve and its slope. (Label the curve and axis correctly) The marginal revenue curve and its slope and position. The marginal cost curve. The firm in this market has no economic profits. Identify Price and Quantity on this graph. Identify the sweet spot. The average total cost curve. Identify the socially optimal quantity on the graph. Identify the productively efficient quantity on the graph. Identify the area associated with excess capacity. Identify the dead weight loss when compared to perfect competition. Point out why Monopolistic Competition makes no profit in the long run. Choose at least one presenter (the more tag team presenters you use the better for involvement), one videographer, one editor, and one director.
