1. The Berwyn Company is considering the addition of a new product to its product line. The firm has plenty of excess manufacturing capacity to produce the new product, and its total fixed cost would be unaffected if the new product were added to its line.

Specifically, they decide that a $300,000 fixed charge (cost) will be absorbed by the new product. The

It also proposed the consideration of “Economies of Scale”

the hypothesis of (eventually) diminishing marginal product both mathematically and verbally. Does this hypothesis hold in the short run or the long run? Explain. The long run is defined as a period of time sufficiently long so that all inputs to production can be freely varied. In contrast, the short run is a period of time sufficiently short so that at least one input is fixed (cannot be varied). For simplicity, let’s make the standard assumption that the variable input in the short run is labor

fundamental problems confronted in the clash between the social production and capitalist appropriation. In the chapter titled Theoretical, Engels lays out the basic conflict between what we know as socialism and capitalism, doing so by first examining what he calls the “Materialist conception of history” (Engels 1939, p. 292). In his materialistic history he claims that the exchange and bartering of products, and their production is the “basis of every social order” (Engels 1939, p. 292). He states

industry. New recruits will require additional time to learn all of the functions of daily operations. If they are not trained in time, this will put a burden on the creation of the production plan. The pre-production plan can be used as a training activity to ensure that they will be able to assist in the production plan.
