Answer:

either the selling price decreases or the total output decreases

Explanation:

The firm's income statement:

total sales revenue =            $120,000

minus total variable costs = ($72,000)

<u>minus total fixed costs =       ($15,000)  </u>

net profit =                             $33,000

The long run equilibrium for a monopolistically competitive firm occurs when the firm is making no economic profit since it is charging a price =  average total cost.

In this case the average total cost per unit = $6 per unit + ($15,000 / 12,000 units) = $7.25 per unit

Since the firm is currently charging a higher selling price than average total cost ($10 > $7.25), one or two things might happen in the long run:

  1. selling price will decrease
  2. output will decrease

Lerok [7]

Answer:

A. $ 3,750,000

Explanation:

Given that

At lower price

A copy is $3

Copies sold = 1.25 million

That is, the total amount of money a seller obtains by selling goods or/and services to a buyer(s)

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

B. 1.291%

Explanation:

The computation of the standard deviation is shown below;

= 2000 + 2001 + 2002 +  2003

= 0.5 × 14% + 0.5 × 16% + 0.5 × 15% + 0.5 × 17% + 0.5 × 16% + 0.5 × 18% + 0.5 × 17% + 0.5 × 19%

= 15% + 16%  + 17% + 18%

= stdev( 15% + 16%  + 17% + 18%)

= 1.291%

Hence, the correct option is b.
