Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the long run, a monopolistic competitor earns zero economic profit because of the entry and exit of firms in the market. This results in the firm's demand curve being tangent to its average total cost curve, meaning it covers its costs exactly, including a normal profit, but does not earn an economic profit.
