Answer to Question 1

Because of this difference, firms in monopolistic competition face a downward sloped demand curve and have price setting power. Firms in perfect competition do nottheir demand curves are horizontal. Because of this difference, in the long run, perfectly competitive firms produce at minimum average cost while monopolistically competitive firms have excess capacity.
