Answer: B. The firm hires 45 workers and earns a $1,200.00 Economic Profit
Explanation:
If the Market Equilibrium rate is $105 then the company should hire 45 workers as shown in the table.
If they did that, revenue would be $7,425
Expenses would be wages and fixed costs:
= Wages + fixed costs
= (45 workers * wage rate) + 1,500
= (45 * 105) + 1,500
= $6,225
Economic profit would be:
= 7,425 - 6,225
= $1,200

The correct answers are the following:
a - 4 Sunk
b - 5 Opportunity
c - 3 Fixed
d - 2 Variable
e - 6 Incremental
f - 1 Recurring
g - 7 Direct

c) <em>Fixed costs</em> are those that are always the same amount and do not change with the activity level of the production of the company.
d) <em>Variable costs</em> are those that do change with the amount of activity level that the company has during the production process.
e)<em> Incremental costs</em> are those that increase the cost level of the production while the output level increases as well, so they are a concept on the margin.
f) <em>Recurring costs</em> are those that tend to repete continously in the production process so the company already know how much the amount of the cost is.
g) <em>Direct costs</em> are those that the company associates with the production process regarding the commodities and all the primary sources that are needed to produce the good and therefore that they impact directly in the production and in the cost of the final product.
h) <em>Non-recurring</em> costs are those that the company are not familiar with due to the fact that they do not repete often and therefore tend to happen once in a while.
