MCQ
In monopolistic competition, which relationship is true from the following between $AR$ and $MR?$
  • A
    $AR = MR.$
  • B
    $AR < MR.$
  • $AR > MR.$
  • D
    None of these.

Answer

Correct option: C.
$AR > MR.$

Both $AR$ and $MR$ curves are downward sloping under monopolistic competition because a firm can sell more commodity by lowering the price. The $MR$ curve is half of $AR$ curve, i.e. $AR > MR.$
