Although one would repair at the most time of 76 minutes, the other is at most 77.1 minutes. I would pick the second one because they may take longer by 1.1 minutes at most, they also included seconds, which seems more like an honest bid time.

Based on the information given, when the equilibrium wage is above the minimum wage, the ordinance won't make a difference.

On the other hand, when the equilibrium wage is below the minimum wage, it'll make a difference for the worker.

Therefore, joining the lowest of the two points will give the equilibrium.

Monopolistically competitive firms:
Annette [7]

Answer:

<h2>The correct answer here would be option a. given in the answer choices or earn a positive economic profit if price is greater than ATC(Average Total Cost).</h2>

Explanation:

  • Monopolistically competitive market is a particular type of market structure characterized by multiple number of firms producing and selling various differentiated products in the market.
  • Monopolistically competitive firms usually have higher pricing and market power than a perfectly competitive market structure but less than the purely monopolistic market structure with only one seller.
  • Since,the monopolistically competitive firms have limited market and pricing power as they sell differentiated products or services,they can evidently charge or set a price for their products or services greater than the Average Total Cost or ATC and earn positive economic profit in the market.
  • However,due to presence of partial market competition or rivalry, any economic profit earned by the firms in the short run would attract more number of firms to enter the market in the long run until the chance of probability of earning any further economic profit is completely diminished.
