- Growth - Spread to other developed countries, foreign production & competition starts, consumption & coverage rise.
- Maturity - Spread to developing countries, stagnant growth in developed countries & fast growth in less developed countries
- Decline - Spread to less developed countries, technology outdated, various substitutes emerge & no. of sellers decline, demand still exist in less developed countries.

Answer:
barriers to entry in monopoly but not in monopolistic competition.
Explanation:
Imagine a situation where a monopolistically competitive firm is doing very well and is able to earn economic profit (profits higher than normal) in the short run. Since this company is earning higher than normal profits, other companies will enter the market and start competing against them hoping to get a piece of that abnormally high gain. As more competitors enter the market, economic profits will start to decrease until finally they are eliminated.
Since monopolies do not face competition, they can earn economic profits in the long run.

Maximum total profit = $4,800
Explanation:
When a business is faced with a problem of shortage of a resource which can be used to produced more than one product type, to maximize the use of the resource , the business should allocate it for production purpose in such a way that it maximizes the contribution per unit of the scare resource.
Therefore the Company should allocate the budget cost to maximize the profit per production cost. This is done as follows:
Calculate the profit per budget cost and rank the product
Gasoline Heating oil
Profit per product cost 3/6=0.5 4/8= 0.5
The two products produce the same profit per dollar of cost which is $0.5. So, they are equally ranked.
So the total profit= the budget cost × profit per budget
= 9,600× $0.5 =$4,800
Maximum total profit = $4,800
