Analyze how a firm is able to deal with these costs (variable and fixed) if the business starts to slow down.
Explain how a firm is able to increase their
profits.
a) A firm will decrease the production of the good if the firm is slowing down, that will decrease the variable cost of the firm as its the cost of the resources employed to produce the good, fixed cost is considered as the sunk cost and the business do not take sunk cost in to variable while making a decision.
b) For a firm to increase the profit they will maximise the revenue and decrease the total cost, as the difference between the two is considered as profit, the higher the revenue and lower the cost the difference between the two will be higher.
