Explanation:

A monopolistic competition has the features of both a monopoly and a competitive firm.

Characteristics of a monopolistic competition includes:

1. Many buyers and sellers

2. Firms are price setters

3. Firms sell differentiated products

4. There are low barriers to entry and exit of firms.

5. Firms make zero economic profit in the long run.

Perfect competition has the above characteristics of a monopolistic firm except:

1. They are price takers

2. There are no barriers to entry and exit of firms

3. Firms do not sell differentiated products.
