Answer to Question 1

In the short run, some factors cannot be adjusted. In the long run, all inputs are variable. The short-run period will vary in duration across firms. For example, for a large utility company, the short-run period might last ten years because of the time needed to build a new generating plant. For a roadside fruit seller, the short-run period might be much shorter.
