First of all, the passage mentions street children by saying "children pitching pennies" and "kicks and cuffs are their daily diet". Also, pollution is touched in this passage as it mentions "summer stenches" which are bad smells that come because of urbanization and the drains that have foul smells (hence they mention "sink"). We also see how neighborhood noises and noisy people from all around the area show up in urbanized areas because of cramped spaces. Hence, quarreling is mentioned here as well as instances of profanity.

Problem Set 3.2

Answer:

Fixed costs do not change as a result of a change in the production amount but variable costs do. So long as the item changes as a result of production, it is a variable cost.

1. Rent ⇒ Fixed

Once rent is paid, it will not change regardless of the quantity produced.

2. Thread ⇒ Variable

In an apparel shop like this one, more thread is needed to produce more clothes so this is a variable cost.

3. Buttons ⇒ Variable.

More buttons are needed for more clothes to be made.

4. Wages ⇒ Variable

Wages will change if more clothes need to be produced.

5. Electricity ⇒ Variable

Cost will change if more clothes are manufactured because more electricity will be used.

6. Cloth ⇒Variable

7. Equipment Rent ⇒ Fixed

This will not change regardless of production level just like rent.

8. Shipping Costs ⇒ Variable Cost

More clothes means more shipping costs to transport them.

9. Insurance ⇒ Fixed cost

10. Property Taxes ⇒ Fixed cost

This does not change regardless of production level as it is based on the property, not production.
