:First part is correct. Second part is incorrect. A "variable cost" is a cost that varies with the amount of the output.
'''2.''' Decreasing returns of scale.
:Good.
'''3.''' A short run cost would be to make an employee work overtime, a long run cost would be to build an extension on a factory.
:Excellent.
'''4.''' Your marginal product is 3 cars, your marginal cost is $4.00, and your marginal revenue is $4.01.
