It’s time to apply what we’re learning about market structures in our session this module week! Based on your last name, you will be assigned to two of the four market structures.

Identify and discuss two U.S. firms whose key characteristics align with your specific market structures. Determine the equilibrium point for each of your firm’s market structures.

Here are your assigned market structures:

• If your last name begins with the letters A-L,identify perfectly competitive market structures and monopolistic competitive market structures.
• If your last name starts with the letters M-Z,identify oligopolistic market structures and monopolistic market structures. (My last name starts with a V)

Locate a recent article or event (published within the last year) that highlights your relevant microeconomics topic. Use the Hunt Library, newspapers, new stations, or other credible sources to discuss how your topic aligns with microeconomics. Include the following in your discussion:

• State the firms you selected.
• Identify the equilibrium point for each market structure assigned.
• Describe your assigned market structures.

Summarize your findings using at least 250 words and provide a minimum of one reference. Use current APA formatting to document your sources.
