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:
- selling price will decrease
- output will decrease
(a) Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = 0.7
(b) Multiplier of this economy:
= 3.33
(c) Decrease government purchases by $300 billion,
Initial change in consumption = Change in government purchases × MPC
= $300 × 0.7
= -$210 billion
(d) This decreases income yet again, causing a second change in consumption equal to:
= Initial change in consumption × MPC
= -$210 × 0.7
= -$147 billion
(e) The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is:
= Change in government purchases × Multiplier
= $300 × 3.33
= -$1 trillion

Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": direct materials prices are controlled by the purchasing department and quantity used is controlled by the production department.
Explanation:
Standard price is the estimated price direct materials could have at the moment of ordering a purchase. Standard quantity refers to the forecasted number of units necessary for the production process of the firm. The two of them are separated to allocate each one to the department in charge of their providing accurate measures: <em>standard prices are set by the purchasing department while the standard quantity is estimated by the production department.
</em>
The efficiency of standard price and quantity relies on the purchasing and production departments separately.
