Answer:

50% discount

Explanation:

We have the formula

price = marginal cost*(E/(E + 1) )

We are given the following:

price per unit item = $10

elasticity of demand, E = -3 for coupon users

marginal cost MC = ?

Hence

10 = MC * (-3/(-3 + 1))

10 = MC * 1.5

MC = 10 / 1.5 = 6.67

So, the appropriate discount that can be given is

price - marginal cost = 10 - 6.67 = $3.33 per box

OR  3.33 / 6.67 = 50% discount over cost.

The demand curve of a monopolistically competitive firm A) is horizontal because the firm must cut its price to sell more. B) is
melisa1 [442]

The demand curve of a monopolistically competitive firm A) is horizontal because the firm must cut its price to sell more.

  • The demand curve of a firm that is perfectly competitive is horizontal at the market price.
  • As a result, every unit sold will result in it receiving the same price.
  • The difference in total revenue from selling one more unit at the constant market price is the marginal revenue that the company receives.
  • A monopolistically competitive firm's perceived demand curve slopes downward, indicating that it sets prices and selects a mix of quantity and price.

Why is the demand curve in monopolistic competition more elastic than a monopoly?

Firm's demand curve under monopolistic competition is more elastic than under monopoly because of availability of close substitutes under monopolistic competition.
