Answer to Question 1

(1.) Oligopolies produce where price is greater than marginal cost. This is an output level that is lower than the socially optimal level of output.
(2.) Entry barriers in oligopolistic markets prevent new capital and other resources from responding to profit signals.
(3.) Product differentiation accomplished through advertising may lead to waste and inefficiency if it serves as an additional barrier to entry.
