Question

Assume the firms operating in an oligopolistic market experience a relatively small change in marginal costs. According to the kinked demand curve model this would: A) cause a large change in the profit-maximizing level of output. B) leave the equilibrium price unchanged. C) cause the profit-maximizing level of output to change by the same amount and in the same direction. D) cause the profit-maximizing price to change by the same amount but in the opposite direction.

Answer 1

B) Leave the equilibrium price unchanged.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oligopolistic market is the arrangement where few companies offer same product to the customers. There is very less competition in the market so every supplier has fair chance for operating their business successfully. The kinked demand model curve in oligopolistic market would leave the equilibrium price unchanged.
