Answer to Question 1

The efficient scale is the quantity produced when average total cost is at its minimum. In the long run, a firm in monopolistic competition operates below the efficient scale when maximizing profits. The difference between the efficient scale and the quantity produced by a firm is the excess capacity. Because the firm is not producing at the efficient scale, its average total cost is higher than if it produced at the efficient scale.
