C. The government of Floriana imposes a price ceiling on poultry items.
D. Following product? differentiation, Goodrick will operate with excess capacity.
E. The local firms selling unbranded chicken will be driven out of the market.

Correct option is (D).

Following product? differentiation, Goodrick will operate with excess capacity.

Explanation:

As a result of product differentiation and consequent new entry attracted by short-run profits, in the long run Goodrick will produce by equating MR and MC, and the corresponding price will be equal to its ATC, thus economic profit will be zero. However, when MR = MC, Price (= ATC) > MC, therefore ATC curve is falling and not minimized at this point, leading to excess capacity.

D. Following product? differentiation, Goodrick will operate with excess capacity.

Explanation:

Due to the fact that there is product differentiation and resulting fresh entries which were attracted by profits in the short-run, in the long run Goodricke will create product by MR and MC equating, as well as the resultant price which will be just as the same to its ATC, thus economic profit will be zero. on the other hand, when the Price (= ATC) > MC, MR = MC, thus ATC curve is falling and not minimized at this point, which will lead to excess capacity.
