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.
Answer:
b. Jan earned a higher real salary.
Explanation:
The consumer price index rose 12 percent which means that with the same amount of money 5 years later you will be able to buy 12% less goods and services. Now in order to find who earned a higher real salary we will calculate how much higher was Jan's salary compared to SUE. If the difference in salary was more than 12% than Jan earned a higher real salary, if less than 12% then Sue earned a higher real salary and if =12% then both earned the same amount of real salary.
Difference in salary = 38,000-30,000=8,000
Percentage increase in salary = 8,000/30,000=0.266 =26.6%
Jan earned 26.6% more than Sue and the increase in the price index was 12% which means that Jan earned a higher real salary than Sue.

recession which is known as procyclic movement. What happens is that during recessions the government usually tries to keepcinterest rates low in order to stimulate investment. It is good because bond prices <span>and interest rates go in opposite directions so bond prices will rise when recession starts. </span>
