Answer:

b. Monopolistic competition is likely to result in a greater variety of product brands than pure competition.

Explanation:

Monopolistic competition is a competitive structure in which few companies operate in an industry that offers the same type of service or product, but differences. In this way each firm holds the relative monopoly of the product. For example, in the toothpaste market, companies sell the same product (toothpaste) but each company tries to differentiate their product from others.

In the competitive structure, several companies sell various products in a free competitive regime, having no monopoly power. Thus, the number of companies and products is infinitely larger than in monopolistic competition.

<u>Merchandise purchases budget </u>

                                                                       Month

Budgeted Sales                                                  x

Total Purchases needed                                    x

Less Budgeted Opening Inventory                  (x)

Budgeted Purchases                                          x

As stated by the question : <em>Company policy is to end each month with merchandise inventory equal to a specified percent of budgeted sales for the following month.</em>

<em>Ending Inventory = Next months` sales x required percentage</em>

Ending Inventory for one month say July becomes Opening Inventory for the following month (August) for our merchandise purchases budget.
