Answer:
Small
Explanation:
Fixed costs are the costs that do not change when output level changes, while variable costs are costs that change as output quantity changes.
When a production process is capacity constrained, it implies that there is a factor that does not allow it to produce more output. Examples of such factors are minor bottlenecks, constrained designs and resources, and others.
A process is said to be efficient when it can avoid waste of resources in producing desired output.
Efficiency improvement therefore occurs when more output can be produced with less resources.
In the question, given that the process is currently capacity-constrained, efficiency improvement will result in producing more output at higher costs because of high variable costs despite that the process has low fixed costs.
As a result, the impact of an efficiency improvement will be small because producing more output will result in incurring higher cost due to high variable costs that change as quantity of output changes. That is, the impact of efficiency improvement will be small because high variable costs with low fixed cost will result in higher production cost.
Answer: Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Correct option: Decreasing marginal product.
Marginal product is the change in the level of output, when there will be an extra input employed in the production of a certain commodity.
So, Marginal Product = 
Where,
Q = Output
I = Input
Marginal product of 1st bag = 500
Marginal product of 2nd bag = 
= 300
Marginal product of 3rd bag = 
= 100
∴ From the above calculations, we can seen that as we employed one more bag of seeds as a result marginal product goes on diminishing.
Hence, Joan's production function exhibits decreasing marginal product.
Answer:
For the special order the company will not incur any additional fixed cost as the special order is within the normal range of production.
Sales ( 10000 * 5 ) 50000
(-) Direct materials ( 10000 * 1.75 ) 17500
(-) Direct labor ( 10000 * 2.50 ) 25000
(-) Variable overhead ( 10000 * 1.50 ) 15000

Answer : Decrease by 7500
Answer:
On October 15, 2020, the board of directors of Ensor Materials Corporation approved a stock option plan for key executives. On January 1, 2021, 28 million stock options were granted, exercisable for 28 million shares of Ensor's $1 par common stock. The options are exercisable between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2026, at 90% of the quoted market price on January 1, 2021, which was $10. The fair value of the 28 million options, estimated by an appropriate option pricing model, is $6 per option. Ensor chooses the option to recognize fonexpectedly to $26 per share.
