Answer:

Explanation:
Inflation can be defined as the persistent general rise in the price of goods and services in an economy at a specific period of time.
Generally, inflation usually causes the value of money to fall and as a result, it imposes more cost on an economy.
Deflation can be defined as a fall or decrease in the overall price level of goods and services in an economy, so that inflation becomes negative while causing an increase in the purchasing power of a currency. Thus, an economy experiences a deflation when its inflation rate becomes negative i.e falls below zero percent (0%).
Furthermore, if an economy experiences deflation, the real interest rate will be greater than the nominal interest rate due to a negative inflation.
Mathematically, deflation is given by the formula;
Real interest rate - Nominal interest rate = - Inflation

In a monopolistic competition, there may be many sellers of a specific good, but in order for each firm to possess a monopolistic edge over the other, minute differences may exist between the similar goods. For example, geometrical sets are more or less the same, in terms of content. However, producer A may include a formula sheet, something which producer B may compensate with a timetable sheet. A consumer may wish to buy a geometrical set, but will have to choose between one from producer A or B since they all have different special features. Both producers A and B possess a monopoly of sorts over each other, due to the difference in features. This is called product differentiation. It may be physical, like the one above or perceived, where product A may seem better than product B, though entirely similar, due to A’s massive advertising. Purely competitive firm sells standard product like its competitors.
