It has been argued that as a result of not producing the quantity of output where unit cost is minimized, the monopolistic competitive firm charges too a price and produces too output.

The correct answer is: high; little.

Explanation:

In monopolistic competition, a firm produces at the level of output where the marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost. The firm is able to maximize its profit at this point.  

However, the socially optimal level of output is where the price is equal to marginal cost. This level of output is greater than the profit-maximizing level of output and charges a lower price.  

But since the firm is a price maker, it produces at the point where MR equals MC. At this point, the price is higher and the output produced is smaller. This creates a deadweight loss in the market.

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
