Answer: variable; fixed
Explanation: In the short run, Kyoko's workers are variable inputs. This is because, the number of workers needed can be varied based on production needs, even in the short run. Examples are energy, labor etc.
Kyoko's ovens are fixed inputs. Fixed inputs are those inputs whose quantities cannot be changed in the short run by a firm as it seeks to change the quantity of output produced. Examples are equipment, land and building.
Answer:
B) average total cost must be rising
Explanation:
Marginal cost is the rate at which total variable cost increases when one more unit is produces.
So when marginal cost is larger than average cost, it means that total average costs must be increasing.
For example, we have the following production costs:
- total costs = $100
- units produced = 20 units
- total average costs = $5 per unit
If the marginal cost of producing 1 more unit is $6, then the total costs will be $106 and the total average cost will be $5.05 per unit (= $106 / 21 units).
Answer: 2,900 shovels
Explanation:
Ending Inventory = Beginning Inventory + Total Inventory Purchased - Sales
900 = 500 + Total produced - 2,500
Total Purchased = 900 + 2,500 - 500
Total purchased = 2,900 shovels
NB; There was no beginning balance in your question so I gave a random figure of 500 units. Use the equation if the figure is different.
