Answer to Question 1

The phrase that a firm's plant is fixed refers to the fact that, in the short run, there are some factors that are fixed, that is, the quantity employed cannot be changed. These factors of production, which include factors such as the firm's capital and land, are collectively referred to as the firm's plant.
