Explanation / Answer

Answer 1 : Option C is correct. Monopolistic market charges the price where demand curve intersect along with ATC. The firm demand curve intersect to it's average total cost.

Answer 2 : Option C is correct. As diminishing Marginal utility shows that as output increases the marginal utility has been decreasing.

Answer 3: Option C is correct.Price ceiling has been imposed in the perfectly competitive market so that they are not able to charge higher price.

Answer 4 : Option C is correct. As it shows that monopolistic competition faces downward sloping demand curve and differentiated Product as compare to perfect competition.

Answer 5: Option A is correct. As in perfect competition good is perfect substitute of each other.

Answer 6 : Option D is correct. As the demand of the essential good is inelastic.

Answer 7 : Option C is correct. An oligopoly market faced a kinked demand curve.

Answer 9: Total surplus is equal to consumer as well as Producer surplus in the country.
