Available options are:
A. All of the choices are correct.
B. Average fixed costs would increase.
C. Marginal costs would increase.
D. Average variable costs would increase
Answer:
Option B. Average fixed costs would increase.
Explanation:
As the variable cost is the same which means that the marginal cost (All variable costs) would neither increase nor the average variable cost (Average variable cost due to fluctuating variable cost) would increase. Hence both Option C and D are incorrect.
Option B is correct because:
Average Fixed cost = (Initial Value + Value Now) / 2
Average Fixed cost = ($100 + $150) / 2 = $125
This means that the average cost has been increased.

Answer:
A) importing products from developing rather than developed countries
Explanation:
Mercantilism asserts that countries should simultaneously encourage exports and discourage imports. Therefore, it is in a country's best interest to maintain a trade surplus, i.e. have more exports than imports. Mercantilism believes that governments should intervene the markets in order to achieve a trade surplus.
Mercantilism tries to take advantage of other countries, and it always easier to take advantage on poorer or developing countries, rather than richer developed countries.
