This question allows you to evaluate how to think about the welfare of consumers. assume a consumer's welfare is driven by what he/she consumes. suppose there are only two types of goods to consume: food and leisure. an average californian citizen has a daily income of $100. the price of one meal of food is $20 and the price (or value) of one unit of leisure is $10. an average citizen in mississippi has a daily income of $50. the price of one unit of food is $10 and the price (or value) of one unit of leisure is $10. who is more well-off in terms of the bundles of goods they can consume? (hint: draw budget sets.)

Because this market is a monopolistically competitive market, you can tell that it is in long-run equilibrium by the fact thatmr=mc at the optimal quantity for each firm. furthermore, a monopolistically competitive firm's average total cost in long-run equilibrium isless than the minimum average total cost. true or false: this indicates that there is a markup on marginal cost in the market for engines. true false monopolistic competition may also be socially inefficient because there are too many or too few firms in the market. the presence of the externality implies that there is too little entry of new firms in the market.
