Answer:

The budgeted materials need in kg. in the first quarter is 90,000 kg

Explanation:

For computing the budgeted material needed in the first quarter, first we have to calculate the consumption of first and second quarters separately, so that we can arrive to a solution.

The consumption of first quarter = Budgeted production × required kg

                                                   = 45,000 × 2

                                                   = 90,000 kg

The consumption of second quarter = Budgeted production × required kg

                                                   = 30,000 × 2

                                                   = 60,000 kg

The ending raw material inventory = 30% of second quarter

                                                      = 30% × 60,000

                                                      = 18,000 kg

Now put the formula to find out the purchase amount. The formula is shown below:

Raw material consumption = Opening raw material inventory + purchase of raw material - ending raw material inventory

where,

beginning inventory = 18,000 kg

90,000 = 18,000 + purchase - 18,000

So, the purchase is 90,000 kg

The question has asked the amount in kg so cost per kg is irrelevant.

Hence, the budgeted materials need in kg. in the first quarter is 90,000 kg

In the long run, profits in a monopolistically competitive market are zero because: a. of government regulations. b. of collusio
zvonat [6]

Answer:

c. firms are free to enter and exit the market.

Explanation:

A monopolistically competitive market is a market in which there are a lot of organizations that sell products that are similar and it tends to be easy to enter and leave the industry. Because it is easy for a company to enter the market and there is a lot of competition, in the long run the economic profit is zero. According to this, the answer is that in the long run, profits in a monopolistically competitive market are zero because firms are free to enter and exit the market.

The other options are not right because a monopolistically competitive market has zero profits because of its low entry barriers and amount of competitors not because of government regulations or an illegal agreement between organizations to control competition. Also, in a monopolistically competitive market the products are similar.
