Solution

The correct answer is c. Price is equal to average total cost. In the long-run equilibrium, both a monopolistically competitive firm and a perfectly competitive firm will set their price equal to the average total cost. This is because, in the long run, firms will enter or exit the market until they are making zero economic profit. This occurs when the price is equal to the average total cost.
