The answer is marginal costs in both places are the same. This
is because the farmers in both places are profit-maximizers, the value in each flat
is equal to MC or Marginal Cost and subsequently the market of corn is competitive,
the price of corn in both places is the same. Also, marginal costs are higher
in East Icicle than in Corncrib can also be a possible answer. For any given outflow
per acre Corncrib’s corn yield are far better than in East Icicle, at any level
of output, the marginal cost per acre in East Icicle must be higher in
Corncrib, which suggests that in equilibrium the output level of corn in East
Icicle is less than the output level of corn in Corncrib.
Answer:
Commuting refers to travelling from your home to your workplace. It generally refers to the distance that people generally travel to get to their office or any type of workplace.
While business travel refers to not only leaving your house to go to work, but actually going somewhere else to perform your regular business activities, e.g. going form one state to another to close a sale. In order for business travel to be effectively recognized as such, it must be necessary for your business activity and it should last more than one ordinary workday.
In this case, your client continuously leaves his house and goes form one state to another performing his normal business activities. This perfectly fits the IRS's definition of business travel.
Initially, you can try to solve this issue with IRS Office of Appeals (since you are right), but if that doesn't work, then you can go to Tax Court.
