Think about firms such as the Coca Cola Company and PepsiCo who compete against each other in the monopolistically competitive market for soft drinks. Each firm produces a unique product, but each of these unique products is to some extent a substitute for the soft drinks produced by rival companies.
Now imagine a situation where the firms within such a market are facing such extreme competition that they are unable to make an operating profit. Characterise this situation diagrammatically and explain what will happen to the market, paying particular attention to the exit or entry of firms out of (or into) the market.
