Why can't an economist say for certain that a monopolistic competitive firm will always earn zero economic profits in the long run?



▸

Barriers to entry are significant in monopolistic competition.



▸

The very large number of buyers indicates that there will always be demand for the firm's product.



▸

The firms in the industry do not produce identical products.



▸

The firms practice price competition, so at least some firms will always be charging a lower price than other firms and will sell more as a result.



▸

The firms face a horizontal demand curve.
