Answer 1

In the long run, a representative firm in a monopolistically competitive industry will end up earning a normal profit, but not an economic profit.

Monopolistic competition is imperfect competition where many producers sell products that differentiate from each other in ways like quality and branding. Because they differ in these ways, there are no perfect substitute for another producers product.
