Monopolistic competition is the economic market model with many sellers selling similar, but not identical, products. The demand curve of monopolistic competition is elastic because although the firms are selling differentiated products, many are still close substitutes, so if one firm raises its price too high, many of its customers will switch to products made by other firms. This elasticity of demand makes it similar to pure competition where elasticity is perfect. Demand is not perfectly elastic because a monopolistic competitor has fewer rivals then would be the case for perfect competition, and because the products are differentiated to some degree, so they are not perfect substitutes.

Monopolistic competition has a downward sloping demand curve. Thus, just as for a pure monopoly, its marginal revenue will always be less than the market price, because it can only increase demand by lowering prices, but by doing so, it must lower the prices of all units of its product. Hence, monopolistically competitive firms maximize profits or minimize losses by producing that quantity where marginal revenue equals marginal cost, both over the short run and the long run.

Steeler Corporation is planning to sell 100,000 units for $2.00 per unit and will break even at this level of sales. Fixed expen
Doss [256]

The company's variable expenses per unit is 1.25

<h3>What is breakeven?</h3>

Breakeven is a point at which neither profit nor loss is made. It is used to determine the number of units or dollars of revenue needed to cover total costs.

Number of units to sell = 100,000

Price per unit = 2

Fixed expense = 75000

At break even point :

Revenue = total expenses

Total expenses

= fixed cost + variable cost

Let variable cost = x

Revenue

= units to sell * price per unit

Revenue

= 100,000 * 2

= 200,000

Hence,

Fixed cost + variable cost = Revenue

75000 + x = 200,000

x = 200, 000 - 75000

x = 125,000

Variable cost = 125,000

The variable expense per unit is thus :

Variable expense / number of units

= 125,000 / 100,000

= 1.25 per unit

Hence, the company's variable expenses per unit is 1.25

net return: 75 - 11.25 = 63.75

total return: 250 + 63.75 = 313.75

investment 4,900

313.75 / 4900 = 0,064030 = 6.40%
