Answer:
D. both a and b.
Explanation:
The marginal cost of production is the marginal private cost. When an individual or a firm spend extra cost for an extra unit of good or service, it is called marginal private cost. The marginal social cost of production is the cost that an entire society pays for the consumption of an extra unit of goods or services.
The extra benefit a consumer gets from the use of extra good is referred to as the marginal private benefit. When there is a change in benefit due to the extra unit of consumption, it is the marginal social benefit. It includes an extra benefit.
The economic efficiency of a market equilibrium deters the marginal private cost and benefit. Externalities affect that market equilibrium.
So, both a and b is the answer.
Answer:
d. $73,778.50
Explanation:
Variable Cost = $11.07 per unit x 5,150 units = $57,010.50
Total Cost = $130,789
Fixed Cost = Total Cost - Variable Cost
Fixed Cost = $130,789 - $57,010.50
Fixed Cost = $73,778.50
Since Depreciation is the Fixed Cost and we have been given the Total Cost of the Project, so the Depreciation is already included in the Fixed Cost.
Hence Total Fixed Cost is equal to $73,778.50.

Answer:
(D). Average product must be rising.
Explanation:
Average product is gotten by dividing the total product of a firm, by the labor quantity (such as the number of workers). This gives the average product per worker.
Marginal product shows the change in total productivity caused by an additional unit of labor (such as a newly hired worker).
If the extra productivity brought about by an additional worker (marginal product) is higher than the average productivity per worker in a firm (the average product), then this marginal productivity, when added to the total, will raise the average productivity of the firm.
This explains why "average product must be rising as long as marginal product is greater than it."
Similarly, once marginal productivity drops below average productivity, then average product starts to decline.
