Answer: C
Explanation:
Who will get the goods and services produced? (Economic questions: what, how, and for whom?)
Answer: No.
Explanation:
This is a Perfectly Competitive market and that means that you are a price taker who maximises output at a point where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost ( MR = MC). As costs have gone up, it simply means that for the conditions to be satisfied, you need to produce less at the factory in Connecticut.
That does not mean that you have to produce more at the Massachusetts plant because it is already producing at capacity and increasing the marginal cost would violate the MR=MC rule as you have no control over the price so you cannot change Marginal Revenue. It is therefore better to keep the production level at the Massachusetts plant unchanged.
The basic economic problem is that of scarcity and choice. This is because people have infinite wants in the face of limited resources, therefore decisions have to be made. The basic economic problem ensures that every society has to decide what to produce, how best to produce it, and for whom to produce it.
