Answer:

Fixed costs are those costs that do not vary with the level of production. While, variable cost are those costs that change with the level of production or per unit consumption.

(a) Repairs to a leaking roof- Fixed cost as it has nothing to do with the level of production.

(b) Cotton- Variable cost as it depends on the number of units produced.

(c) Food for the miller's cafeteria- Variable as it depends on production. The more you produce the more workers you need and thus more is the food requirement.

(d) Night security guard-  Fixed cost as it does not change with the number of units produced by the textile mill.

(e) Electricity- Variable cost as it depends on the units of electricity consumed. The more you produce the more electricity will be consumed.

What is the difference between an increase in demand and an increase in quantity demanded?.
Setler [38]

Answer:

Quantity Demanded is a shift up/down a demand curve

Increase in Demand is a shift in the curve itself.

Explanation:

There will be an increase in Quantity Demanded when price goes down. There is a Quantity Demand change when there is a price change. (QD goes up when Price goes down, QD goes down when price goes up)

An increase in demand is when one of the shifters of demand change. So for example, if number of consumers (one of the shifters) increase, the demand curve increases, and shifts right, meaning more quantity at each pricepoint.
