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

In one of the case studies in the textbook, Ernie Phillips was a CPA who had fallen on hard times both financially and personall
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The fraud was discovered Option D: The operations manager found a check made payable to Phillips while searching Phillips' desk for some accounting records.

Explanation:

In the given case study, Ernie Phillips had got a job as a 'controller'. He had started writing checks to himself other than the payroll checks.

This fraud can be discovered when the operations manager found a check on Phillips desk which was payable to himself and it was other than the payroll check. Thus, Option D is the statement as an answer.

Cancelled checks do not have to do anything with the fraud, as per Option A, because cancelled checks are never cleared in the bank. The receiver doesn't usually receive a call before check clearance. So, Option B is also incorrect. No error was there in the check as stated in Option C.
