Answer:
A university's decision to add a new residence hall. A trucking firm's decision to move to a smaller facility.
Explanation:
Short run decision affects variable factor only. Adding a new facility is a long run decision. Hence a firm's decision to decrease the amount of electricity used in day-to-day operations by encouraging employees to adopt conservation strategies is a short run decision.
Hence, the correct answer would be:
A university's decision to add a new residence hall. A trucking firm's decision to move to a smaller facility.

Explanation:
The payback period is the amount of time that is needed for the required cash inflow of a project to offset the initial cash outflow that the business offsets. The payback period is when the initial outlay of an investment is recovered. There are two different methods used to calculate payback period. We have the average method and the subtraction method.
In the above question, the payback period is solved as follows:
Labour cost decreases by 10% for each unit.
Therefore,
= $10 × 10%
= $10 × 0.1
= $1 per unit.
In order to recover $2000, the business needs to sell the following;
= 2000/1
= 2000units.
If Eric sells 1000 units per year of Emu, it will take:
2000/1000= 2years
In conclusion, the payback period of the investment is 2 years.
