Question

The figure has two plots in two columns. These two plots show the quantity versus the price. The header of the first column is Monopolistic Competition. The plot in this column has four curves: the linearly decreasing demand curve, the linearly decreasing MR curve, the linearly increasing MC curve, and the convex AC curve. The demand curve is tangent to the AC curve. The point at which the demand curve touches the AC curve is labeled as P equal to AC, Zero Profit. There are a horizontal dashed line and a vertical dashed line connecting the point of tangency with the vertical axis and the horizontal axis, respectively. The points at which the dashed lines intersect the axes are labeled as P on the vertical axis and Q superscript * subscript M. Comp on the horizontal axis. The MR curve is steeper than the demand curve.  The MR curve intersects the MC curve at the point that is under the point at which the demand curve touches the AC curve.  The header of the second column is Competition. The plot in this column has three curves: the linearly demand curve, the linearly increasing MC curve, and the convex AC curve. The demand curve is a horizontal line at the level of P. The demand curve is tangent to the AC curve. The point at which the demand curve touches the AC curve and at which the MC curve intersects both the AC curve and the demand curve is labeled as P equal to AC, Zero Profit. This point lies below and to the right of the point at which P is equal to AC on the first plot. There is a vertical dashed line connecting the point of intersection of the AC, MC, and demand curves with the horizontal axis. The point at which the dashed line intersects the horizontal axis is labeled as Q superscript * subscript Comp.
