Monopolistic stores are [local or national]? Monopolistic markets are [small or regional]? Profit max quantity is where MC equals [ATC or MR]? At profit max quantity, the marginal profit on the last unit is [infinite or zero]? In the long run the firm's ATC is tangent to [MR or demand]? The average firm only earns [normal or economic) profits in the long run? Many monopolistic stores operate below breakeven because of too [many or few] stores? In the long run at MC = MR the ATC equals [AVC or price]? The TR curve for monopolistic stores is [linear or curvilinear]? Where the TR is maximized the MR is equal to [one or zero]? The MR is (positive or both positive and negative]? If the MR is greater than MC, the firm has produced [too much or too little]? If the price line is above the ATC, the firm is [profitable or unprofitable]? Normal profits are included in the [AR or ATC] curve? Normal profits are equal to [zero or fair] return on investment? Normal profits are enough to sustain the firm for the [long run or only the short run)? Contribution rate is price minus [ATC or AVC]? BEQ is [TVC or TFC) divided by P - AVC? Monopolistic stores experience [one or two] BEQ's? Marathon is an oligopoly but one station is [monopolistic or monopoly] store? Monopolistic stores have a recognizable market [share or control)? Excess profit in monopolistic markets will disappear in the long run because of [entry or taxes]? The desire to be one's own boss creates too [many or few] stores? New firms entering the market shift historical demands for old firms [left or right]? Failure to block entry allows profits to (increase or decrease]? The lowest cost is MC equals [ATC or AR]? Shutdown is whenever the price falls below equality of MC equal [ATC or AVC]? Many monopolistic stores operate with less than normal profits because many owners [like or dislike] their chosen career path and refuse to liquidate?
