Answer:

A) a relatively large number of firms and the monopolistic element from product differentiation.

Explanation:

A monopolistically competitive industry has the elements of monopoly as product differentiation. Since the products produced in are different in some way and thus may offer differing utilities. This allows the firms in the industry to vary their supply to influence prices as this differentiated product is only produced by them. This is reminiscent of a monopoly.

However, at the same time - there may be substitutes with slight variations as  there are a relatively larger number of companies producing differing products. This offers as an option to customers and helps the market act as competitive.

Option B only focuses on the monopolistic elements. Option C is fundamentally wrong as low entry barriers is not a monopolistic element. Option D gives us a monopolistic element of advertising that can act as differentiation but a highly inelastic demand curve goes against the perfect competition - this nullifies the argument.

Hope that helps.

Which of the following is incorrect? Multiple Choice As the price level falls, the interest rate declines, and interest-rate-sen
Lerok [7]

Answer: When the price level increases, real balances increase and businesses and households find themselves wealthier and therefore increase their spending.

Explanation:

As the price level falls, the interest rate declines, and interest-rate-sensitive spending increases. It should be noted that a low interest rate will bring about a rise in the demand for investment.

Therefore, when there's a reduction in the price level, there'll be a reduction in interest rate as well which then leads to the rise in demand for investment and rise in aggregate demand.

When the price level increases, there will be a reduction in real balances while the businesses and the households will be poorer when compared to a scenario whereby there's a price fall.
