C. less painful parting with cash
Answer:
A) By product pricing
Explanation:
If you are able to sell your companies by products it is a great way to make more money and to reduce costs. Imagine if the cheese factories needed to throw away all that brine. They would need to develop some waste disposal facility which obviously costs money to build and operate. Instead they are lowering their costs by selling it and at the same time are getting more money. They would probably even give it away for free if no one was willing to pay for it.
The fee is called an "excess mileage fee" she she has driven more miles than she was allowed in her lease agreement.
Answer:
B) average total cost must be rising
Explanation:
Marginal cost is the rate at which total variable cost increases when one more unit is produces.
So when marginal cost is larger than average cost, it means that total average costs must be increasing.
For example, we have the following production costs:
- total costs = $100
- units produced = 20 units
- total average costs = $5 per unit
If the marginal cost of producing 1 more unit is $6, then the total costs will be $106 and the total average cost will be $5.05 per unit (= $106 / 21 units).
