Question 2 of 5
2. Question
2 points2. Which of the following correctly defines Monopolistic competition?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
Monopolistic competition is a market structure where the number of firms is large, there is free entry and exit of firms, but the goods produced by them are not homogeneous.
For example: There is a very large number of chocolates producing firms. But many of the chocolates being produced are associated with some brand name and are distinguishable from one another by these brand names and packaging and are slightly different in taste. The consumer develops a taste for a particular brand of chocolate over time, or becomes loyal to a particular brand for some reason, and is, therefore, not immediately willing to substitute it for another chocolate. However, if the price difference becomes large, the consumer would be willing to choose a chocolate of another brand. The price difference required for the consumer to change the brand consumed may vary.Incorrect
