Answer:

This concept is called the opportunity cost.

Explanation:

The opportunity cost of any economic decision is the cost of giving up or sacrificing its alternative. We are aware that resources are limited and have alternative uses. We have to use these resources to satisfy unlimited wants and needs.  

If we use resources for one purpose it cannot be used for another. So we have to make a decision on how to spend the resources, on which alternative use. If we select one alternative, we need to give up another. The cost incurred on sacrificing or giving up the other alternative is the opportunity cost of using the resource for the first alternative.

Suppose that the demand for my new book, Spatulas From Around the World, is such that the demand curve lies everywhere below the
dsp73

Answer:

C. Shut down the presses printing my book

Explanation:

Since the average variable cost of producing the book is above the demand curve, the best course of action is to shut down the printing (production) of more books. The author would lose less money by shutting down operations rather than continuing production at a variable cost higher than the demand he's receiving for the books.

In economics, when profit is less than the average variable cost, firms are advised to stop production in the short run and incur economic loss on fixed inputs. This is because with continued operations, total revenue would not only be lower than total cost, but rather, would also be less than total variable cost.
