Answer:

The correct answer is: increase; not change; option ii.

Explanation:

An increase in the cost of production would lead to an increase in the price of rollerball pens, this will cause the quantity demanded to decrease. This decline in the quantity demanded will be indicated by an upward movement on the same demand curve. There will be no shift in the demand curve.  

As the price of rollerball pens will increase, the consumers will prefer the cheaper substitute. This will cause an increase in the demand for ball-point pens.

The rollerball pens and ball-point pens are substitute. This means that they can be used in place of each other.

timama [110]

Answer:

c) a firm does not have sufficient time to change the level of use some of its inputs.

Explanation:

The definition of short-run in economics is not a term to be used for a specific certain period of time but it means that the period of time is too short that the firms cannot change the level they are using of some of their inputs or costs. It means they do have fixed costs they cannot change. For example, all machinery installed, a yearly rent paid, electricity or others that the firm cannot change unless there is sufficient time. In a short period of time, it will have those costs anyway. The firm cannot change the level of that input. And it is short run of at least one input. It may be many. But it is not necessary to have all inputs unchanged to consider that period of time as short-run.

However, firms can change level of inputs if they have more time. That is cost the long run. All costs are variable costs when we are in long run.
