Answer:

c. Falling

Explanation:

Marginal costs — additional OR incremental costs for the production of an additional unit of the product, equal to the change in total costs divided by the change in the volume of production (and in the short term - the change in total variable costs divided by the change in production).

Average Variable Cost (AVC) is the total variable cost per unit of output. This is found by dividing the total variable cost (TVC) by the total output (Q). Total Variable Cost (TVC) is all costs that vary with output and material. The easiest way to determine if a cost is volatile is whether the product has changed.  Profit companies will use AVC to determine where production will close in the shortest possible time. If the product they buy for good is higher than AVC for the product they produce, they pay at least all the variable costs and some fixed costs.

Since MC is the cost of producing the next unit, the AVC should fall when it is under AVC. AVC falls because MC costs the next unit produced; therefore, when the next unit costs less than the average, it should be pulling the average down. With the same logic, when MC is above AVC, it pushes the average upwards, so the AVC needs to rise. When the marginal unit is more expensive than the average, the average should increase. By definition, the MC curve intersects the AVC curve at the minimum point in the AVC curve. At the junction MC and AVC are equal.

Marta_Voda [28]

An overgrown lawn is manicured by mowing it with a lawn mower is an example of physical change. Physical change is a change that affects the physical form of the substance or environment but not its chemical composition. In this example, the lawn is manicured by mowing it, so the physical form would be changed. But, the chemical composition of the lawn was maintained and was not change. So,<span> this is clearly a physical change.</span>

Six years ago a commercial property owner paid $490,000 for her complex which included 10 acres of land valued at $100,000. Usin
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

AS land cannot be depreciated we will first subtract the value of the land from the complex so we are left with $390,000 (490,000-100,000)

In straight line method each year the asset is depreciated by the same amount so in order to find out yearly depreciation we will divide 390,000 by 40

=9750

In 6 years the complex has depreciated for $58,500

So the current value of the apartment complex would be (490,000-58500)

The current value of the apartment complex is $431500

Inez has a specific set of plans to build a sailboat. the plans are detailed in nature, and any boat builder can build the boat.
navik [9.2K]
<span>Inez is still obligated to accept delivery of the boat because it is still the boat that she contracted out and built to the specifications that she requested. Just because it was contracted out to another company doesn't mean that she didn't get what she wanted for the price she wanted. If she didn't have a specific design then she might have an argument, however she did and it was built to that design specs.</span>
