Answer to Question 1

Carly is considering 2500 in fixed costs as a part of her calculations, which is why she advises Cathy to shut down. However, fixed costs should not be a part of the decision making in this case because they are sunk and no longer avoidable by stopping production. Even if Cathy shuts down, she cannot get any of the 2500 back. On the flip side, she is actually making a profit of 500 (3500-3000 . and therefore should not shut down.

Answer to Question 2
