no, it actually faces downward-sloping. 100% sure, just read it in the book.

Horizontal


Draw a demand curve illustrating price inelastic demand and explain how the curve relates to the definition of price elasticity of demand?

A perfectly inelastic demand curve will be completely horizontal and means that consumers would any price for a particular good, which is almost impossible. The closer to being horizontal a demand curve is, the more inelastic the demand.

What is an monopolistic?

Monopolistic competition is a market situation that is different from both perfect competition (PC) and monopoly. The theory of monopolistic competition was first developed by Chamberlin. In monopolistic competition the firms sell differentiated yet highly substitutable products, whereas in PC, the firms engage in production of homogeneous products. This product differentiation gives the firms a bit of monopoly power in pricing and they face slightly downward sloping demand curve as compared to the horizontal demand curve of PC. However, the free entry and exit of firms ensures that these firms have limited monopoly and no super normal profits arise in the long-run.


Which of the following statements does not describe the demand curve?

How can a company have a downward demand curve but still have marginal revenue equal price?

If the Demand Curve is separate from the MR=P curve, the company can not be of Perfect Competition. It can exist in any other market structure: Monopolistic Competition, Monopoly, or Imperfect Competition. In each of these three structures, the Demand Curve will always fall twice as fast as the MP=P=AR Curve. To answer your question in these terms, the company can have a downward sloping Demand Curve separate from the MR=P curve if it is not in the PC Market Structure.
