Which of the following statements explains this difference? a. In monopolistically competitive markets, firms face horizontal demand curves while in perfectly competitive markets firms face downward-sloping ones.
b. In perfectly competitive markets, firms operate where MR is equal to MC, which is where ATC is minimized.
