Consider a monopolistically competitive market with N firms. Each firms business opportunities are described by the following equations:<\/p>\n
Demand: Q= 100 \/ N – P<\/p>\n

Total cost: TC = 50 + Q^2<\/p>\n
Marginal Cost: MC = 2Q<\/p>\n
A. How does N, the number of firms in the market, affect each firms demand curve? Why? <\/p>\n
B. How many units does each firm produce? (The answers to this and the next two questions depend on N.) <\/p>\n
C. What price does each firm charge? <\/p>\n
D. How much profit does each firm make?<\/p>\n
